Heads above the water But too close to the slaughter Life on the run No justice done Time for hell and thunder The mind can pull you under Hauling you back Into the black Moving with the dark Will bring you pain inside the heart And burn you deeper like an arrow made of sun Rolling with the wheel It makes you turn the way you feel From to joy to cry You've got to live and let fly - yeah No sign of the morning coming You were lost before the warning Came here to shock Children of rock Don't need a new religion The past is not forgiven - no Inside the night We've found the light Living in the cold Will freeze the chain around your soul And leave you stranded on this desolation boulevard Before we end up old We dream of streets made of gold And then we die So I say live and let fly - yeah I was born here to deliver I'm pouring like a river The strain is back Coming down the track Get on the roller-coaster Your faces on the poster No need to blush Just feel the rush Baby it's a sacrifice But you will have to roll the dice And pay the price for things you've never done Life inside this old machine Is blinding your forgotten dreams They blind your soul and steal you from the starlight The tower of the wall Must rise again after the fall And into the sky Live and let fly - yeah Got to live Before you die Live and let fly
