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 madmen

  **CHORUS
  forever young, i want to be forever young 
  do you really want to live forever, forever and ever

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 fading horse 
youth is like diamonds in the sun 
and dimonds are forever

so many adventures couldn't happen today 
so many songs we forgot to play 
so many dreams are swinging out of the blue 
we let them come true
