"Dying To Live" lyrics

Billy Idol & J. Ralph Lyrics

"Dying To Live"
(from "Billy Idol Should Be Dead" soundtrack)

Late-night
Conversations
With past life
Hesitations
Once when I was younger
Back when I knew hunger

I was just bored with a life to live
All I knew was to dream into it

Naïve motivations
Heightened expectations
The door was open calling
They said I was foolish

I had to walk through
Didn't think of the price
With a twinkle in my eye
I dreamed into it

And the records turn
Like they did when I was young
And I still don't know
If I've only just begun

And the records spin
As the soundtrack to my sins
Baby, I'm dying, dying, dying, dying to live
So, I dream into it

I dream into it

Feel it in my soul
I've been running so long
Regrets are flowing fast
An imaginary storm
Gripping at the branches
And I'm trying to hold on
So many memories made
Wish I was there for them all

I'm still at the beginning
Though I feel like it's the end
I'm begging for a chance
To see the sunrise again
'Cause I'm dying, dying, dying, dying to live

And the records turn
Like they did when I was young
And I still don't know
If I've only just begun

And the records spin
As the soundtrack to my sins
Baby, I'm dying, dying, dying, dying to live
So, I dream into it

First came luck, then pressure
One-man roller-coaster
Around the world like phantoms
I didn't care what would happen

I was kicking at the stars
With the wind at my winds
Kid to a king
All I wanted was everything
