We're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best
But expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb on us?
Let us stay young or let us stay forever
Don't want the powers
But we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit,
Life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men
Can you imagine when we face this world?
As we turn our faces into the sun
Praising our leaders,
We're getting in tune
The music's played by the madmen
Forever young, I wanna be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever - and ever
Some are like water,
Some are like the heat
Some are like melodies and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
They don't stay young
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a faded rose
Youth's like diamonds in the sand
And diamonds are forever
So many advantage could have happened today
So many songs we were gonna play
So many dreams when you're out in the cold
Living forever
Forever young...
Spoken:
Didn't I not tell you
That you shouldn't ever push your luck?
No, I'm very sorry, there is no pity now
