 Let's dance in style, lets dance for a while
 Heaven can wait  we're only watching the skies
 Hoping for the best  but expecting the worst
 Are you going to drop the  bomb or not?
 Let us die young or let us live forever
 We don't have the  power 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 this race is won
 Turn our golden  faces into the sun
 Praising our leaders  we're getting in  tune
 The music's played by the mad  men
 Forever young, I want to be forever young
do  you really want  to live forever,  forever forever
 Forever young, I want to be forever young
do  you really want  to live forever?  Forever forever

 Some are like water, some are like the heat
 Some are a melody  and some are the beat
 Sooner or later  they all will be gone
 why don't they stay young
 It's so hard to get old without a cause
 I don't want to perish  like a fleeing horse
 Youth's like diamonds  in the  sun
 and diamonds are forever
 So many adventures couldn't happen today
 So many songs  we forgot to play
 So many dreams  swinging out of the  blue
 We let them come true
 Forever young, I want to be forever young
do  you really want  to live forever,  forever Forever
 Forever young, I want to be forever young
do  you really want  to live forever?  Forever Forever
, , , , , , ,  X2
 Forever young, I want to be forever young
do  you really want  to live forever,  forever Forever
 Forever young, I want to be forever young
do  you really want  to live forever,  forever
