I was prowling in the dark
 
 It was a game of chance i played
 
 Thought i had the vital spark
 
 Tired out i was in this cascade
 
  
  When truth began to dawn on me
 
 Backing the wrong horse one decade
 
 On floating ice so endlessly
 
 A tug-of-war in this grand charade
  
 
 See how the land lies
 
 Welcome the sunrise
 
 Farewell to the disguise
 
 Mark my words and never say die
  
 
 (chorus)
 
 On top of the world
 
 On the edge of sheer heaven
 
 Believe in this red-letter-day
 
 Life comes to light
 
 By no means it ain`t over
 
 The flowering time has begun
 
 (you´ll be there)
 
 You`ll be on top of the world
  
 
 Nothing venture, nothing have
 
 Clearing the figments of the mind
 
 Never walking this way half
 
 Beating the air and one eyed blind
  
 
 Redress the balance
 
 Come take this mere chance
 
 Fall into this romance
 
 The scale will fall from your eyes
  
 
 (chorus)
  
 
 Wild horses won`t drag me back on the track
 
 Cause i`ve got the hang of it now
 
 A flash in the pain
 
 As sound as a bell
 
 The odds are in my favour now
  
 
 (chorus)
  
 
 (b-chorus)
 
 Top of the world uh-uh-uh-uh
 
 Heaven is here sheer heaven is here
 
 Why not believe so will you believe
 
 This glory day we´re on top
 
 Top of the world so we are on top
 
 Heaven is here so heaven is here
 
 Why not believe and when life comes to light
 
 You´ll be there you´ll be on top of the world
 
 Top of the world
