I was prowling in the dark It was a game of chance I played Thought I had the vital spark Tired out I was in this cascade When truth began to dawn on me Backing the wrong horse one decade On floating ice so endlessly A tug-of-war in this grand charade See how the land lies Welcome the sunrise Farewell to the disguise Mark my words and never say die ^Chorus On top of the world On the edge of sheer heaven Believe in this red-letter-day Life comes to light By no means it ain't over The flowering time has begun (You'll be there) You'll be on top of the world Nothing venture, nothing have Clearing the figments of the mind Never walking this way half Beating the air and one eyed blind Redress the balance Come take this mere chance Fall into this romance The scale will fall from your eyes ^Chorus Wild horses won't drag me back on the track Cause I've got the hang of it now A flash in the pain As sound as a bell The odds are in my favour now ^{Chorus B-chorus} Top of the world uh-uh-uh-uh Heaven is here sheer heaven is here Why not believe so will you believe This glory day we're on top Top of the world so we are on top Heaven is here so heaven is here Why not believe and when life comes to light You'll be there you'll be on top of the world Top of the world
