Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A bunch of myths, a bunch of tales
To take the wind out of our sails
They even say that we must die
I don't believe it, that's a lie
[PreChorus]
To live forever, that's the plan
The longest-living mortal man
With a soul that can't be perished
With a song that's always cherished
[Instrumental]
We don't have to get fat, we don't have to get old
We don't have information that we have to withhold
Free as the bikers back when they were thin
We don't have to fade to black
(We don't have to fade to black)
Let the sun come in
[Instrumental]
A lovely day, a perfect sky
Of fluffy clouds way up high
Angelic forces in the air
It's all up there, it's all up there
[PreChorus]
To live forever, that's the plan
The longest-living mortal man
With a soul that can't be perished
With a song that's always cherished
[Instrumental]
We don't have to get fat, we don't have to get old
We don't have information that we have to withhold
Free as the bikers back when they were thin
We don't have to fade to black
(We don't have to fade to black)
Let the sun come in
[Bridge]
Think big, think big things
It ain't illegal
Open up and spread your wings
Fly like an eagle
[Instrumental]
To live forever, that's the plan
The longest-living mortal man
With a soul that can't be perished
With a song that's always cherished
[Instrumental]
We don't have to get fat, we don't have to get old
We don't have information that we have to withhold
Free as the bikers back when they were thin
We don't have to fade to black
(We don't have to fade to black)
We don't have to fade to black
(We don't have to fade to black)
Let the sun come in
