Sleepwalk away your life if that turns you on It's only the moment, Look away and it's gone It's about time that your mind took a holiday You're all grown up, Don't you ever wanna play? Ah, you've had enough Of staring out of deaden eyes Ah, it's gonna be tough The battle's on and so is the prize I don't know what it is I'm feelin' A four letter word really gets my meaning Nothing ever lasts Forever Get on your feet we're going out of our minds The wheels need to roll The clock on the wall said its time Call in love, call in whatever you please It's not what you wanted, It might be just what you need Ah, you've had enough, It feels like you've blown a fifty amp fuse, Ah, it's gonna be tough The more you have the more you can lose I don't know what it is I'm feelin' A four letter word really gets my meaning Nothing ever lasts Forever Ah, you've had enough Of staring out of deaden eyes Ah, it's gonna be tough The battle's on and so is the prize I don't know what it is I'm feelin' A four letter word really get's my meaning Nothing ever lasts Forever And nothing ever lasts forever Nothing ever lasts forever Nothing ever lasts forever
