Livin' Thing
Electric Light Orchestra
Sailing away on the crest of a wave
It's like magic
Oh and rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and sliding
It's magic
And you and your sweet desire
You took me oh higher and higher baby
It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose
I'm takin' a dive (dive dive ...)
Dive (dive dive ...)
Making believe this is what you've conceived
From your worst day
(I'm takin' a dive)
Oh moving in line when you look back in time
To the first day
(I'm takin' I'm takin')
And you and your sweet desire
Don't you do it don't you do it
You took me oh higher and higher baby
It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose
And I'm takin a dive
Off the stage
Hey
Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide
Floating downstream
(I'm takin' a dive)
Ah so let her go don't start spoiling the show
It's a bad dream
(I'm takin', I'm takin')
And you and your sweet desire
(Don't you do it, don't you do it)
You took me oh higher and higher baby
It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose
It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing ...
