On top of the world, on top of it all, trying to feel invincible Dying on top of the world I remember the nights Caught up in dreaming my ‘goodbyes’ Watching the door for anything more than an ordinary life I remember the days New beginnings on an open ‘page’ With something to prove and nothing to lose, not a soul to betray Here I am Living a dream that I can’t hold Here I am on my own On top of the world, on top of it all, trying to feel invincible I’m dying on top of the world I remember the lies Caught up in building ‘paradise’ The angels were slaves and demons behaved and Everything was alright Here I am Living a dream that I can’t hold Here I am on my own On top of the world, on top of it all, trying to feel invincible I’m dying on top of the world I hear the crowds beneath me I’m wishing they could reach me But I’m ‘on top of the world’ Up here I’m dying alone Inside the walls of gold, outside of happiness It’s all been a show, too late to confess No room for heart and soul, no room for innocence On top of the world, on top of it all, trying to feel invincible But I’m dying on top of the world
