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
