Everybody wants to rule the world Nothing ever lasts forever Welcome to your life There's no turning back Even while we sleep We will find you Acting on your best behavior Turn your back on mother nature It's my own design

The big wheel keeps on turning On a simple line day by day The earth spins on its axis One man struggle while another relaxes There's a hole in my soul like a cavity Seems the world is out to gather just by gravity The wheel keeps turning the sky's

World turning Everybody's got me down I gotta get my feet back on the ground Maybe I'm wrong but who's to say what's right I need somebody to help me through the night Everybody's trying to say I'm wrong I just wanna be back where I belong Turnin',

And I, I, I I, I, I, I'll be living up, I'll be living up I, I, I, I'll be throwing it up, I'll be throwing it up I, I, I, I'll be playin it cool, What a girl's gonna do Living on the world turning

And the greatest is love Where were you when the world stopped turnin' I'm just a singer of simple songs I'm not a real political man I watch CNN, but I'm not sure I can tell you The diff'rence in Iraq and Iran But I know Jesus and I talk to God And I

I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world Don't you ever wonder how we survive? From turning into a monster and eating us alive Well now that your gone, the world is ours You were my conscience, so solid, now you're like water We started

For a moment there, it was permanent Oh look, I don't wanna feel like somebody But nothing else ever feels like your body 'Cause we held the world, we were turning it I'd drive the streets when you told me your secrets We made mistakes, but we both we

These are the tales of tomorrow It's turning our world 'round, it's upside down Riding the wave of this energy This here, this is our story This here's the journey of our lives We won't stop, this is our moment Get back our hopes because we're dreaming

We're going out tonight To kick out every light We're going till the world stops turning While we burn it to the ground tonight Ooooohhhhhhh To get anything that we want Drink everything in sight To drink everything in sight Well it's midnight, damn

For the good times Don't look so sad I know it's over But life goes on and this world keeps on turning, yeah Let's just be glad, we have this time to spend together There is no need to watch the bridges that were burning Lay your head on my pillow hold
