I feel alive just to be awake While the world sleeps before it's dawn The light is blue and it's up to you For you to hear the birds singing their songs Then aeroplanes and the underground trains And the silence gets killed by the cars Flowers need water and the people need coffee And the sun shines out the stars Never going down Never going down, down, down, down, down Never going down, down, down, down I get deaf 'cause the voices are loud I gotta dump the garbage fill in my head They pierce in my own head and don't make no sense And there's so much paper to shred It's easy to see how people can be And get lost in the blink of an eye The time ticks around and the world barrels on And now your mirror face is seventy-five Never going down Never going down, down, down, down, down Never going down, down, down, down, down Never going down, down, down, down, down Never going down, down, down, down You're freer on the inside just to step out on the outside Down to the spinning rock in the sky Let's paint a drag with a big, fat brush Round the twenty-four-seven news desk I wanna run around, out back so fast Yeah, my heart beats a hole in my chest I wanna swim or take a dive from a tree I wanna sit around a fire caressed Never going down Never going down, down, down, down, down Never going down, down, down, down, down Never going down, down, down, down, down Never going down, down, down, down Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah The people who love you And make you who you are Yeah, the people who love you And make you who you are Never going down Never going down, down, down, down, down Never going down, down, down, down, down Never going down, down, down, down, down Never going down Down, never going down, down Down, never going down Never going down, down Never going down, down, down, down, yeah
