Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Never gonna be on my own It's clear as the day Never gonna cast my anchor out I'm a free spirit, torn in a way I can't stay here for too long I got to keep on moving on Nothing fades as nothing changes This old place is driving me crazy Live on and dream on I'm on top of the world and I'm on the right track I'm on top of the world and I won't look back Live on and dream on I'm on top of the world and I'm on the right track I'm on top of the world and I won't look back I was living for the weekend And the drinks are on me Skipping school and cutting out I wish this world would let me be Trying to catch a feeling Trying to find myself We ran out into temptations 'Cause this old place is driving me crazy Live on and dream on I'm on top of the world and I'm on the right track I'm on top of the world and I won't look back Live on and dream on I'm on top of the world and I'm on the right track I'm on top of the world and I won't look back I miss you when I'm gone I'm still playing the same old songs Dance like we used to do But I'm better without you Better without you Live on and dream on I'm on top of the world and I'm on the right track I'm on top of the world and I won't look back Live on and dream on I'm on top of the world and I'm on the right track I'm on top of the world and I won't look back The time is now I cast my anchor down I'm on top of the world and I'm on the right track I'm on top of the world and I won't look back The time is now I cast my anchor down I'm on top of the world and I'm on the right track I'm on top of the world and I won't look back Na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na Ooh, ooh
