All right, hold on tight now
It's down, down to the wire
Set your hopes up way too high
The living's in the way we die

Comes the morning and the headlights fade away
Hundred thousand changes, everything's the same
I've been waiting long for one of us to say
"Save the darkness, let it never fade away"

Ah-ah-ah-ah, the living daylights
Ah-ah-ah-ah, the living daylights
Ah-ah-ah-ah, the living daylights

Ah-ah-ah-ah, the living daylights
Ah-ah-ah-ah, the living daylights

Set your hopes up way too high
The living's in the way we die
Set your hopes up way too high
The living's in the way we die
Set your hopes up way too high
The living's in the way we die
Set your hopes up way too high
The living's in the way we die
Set your hopes up way too high
The living's in the way we die
