I was prowling in the dark
It was a game of chance I played
Thought I had the vital spark
Tired out I was in this cascade
When truth began to dawn on me
Backing the wrong horse one decade
On floating ice so endlessly
A tug-of-war in this grand charade
See how the land lies
Welcome the sunrise
Farewell to the disguise
Mark my words and never say die (Never say die)
On top of the world
On the edge of sheer heaven
Believe in this red-letter-day
Life comes to light
By no means it ain't over
The flowering time has begun (You'll be there)
You'll be on top of the world
Nothing venture, nothing have
Clearing the figments of the mind
Never walking this way half
Beating the air and one eyed blind
Redress the balance
Come take this mere chance
Fall into this romance
The scale will fall from your eyes (Fall from your eyes)
On top of the world
On the edge of sheer heaven
Believe in this red-letter-day
Life comes to light
By no means it ain't over
The flowering time has begun (You'll be there)
You'll be on top of the world
Wild horses won't drag me back on the track
Cause I've got the hang of it now
A flash in the pain
As sound as a bell
The odds are in my favour now
On top of the world
On the edge of sheer heaven
Believe in this red-letter-day
Life comes to light
By no means it ain't over
The flowering time has begun (You'll be there)
You'll be on top of the world
(Top of the world)
(Heaven is here) Sheer heaven is here
(Why not believe) So will you believe
(This glory day) We're on top
(Top of the world) So we are on top
(Heaven is here) So heaven is here
(Why not believe) And when life comes to light
(You'll be there) You'll be on top of the world
