Dying To Live (From The Original Documentary 'Billy Idol Should Be Dead')

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

Naive 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 (records spin)

As the soundtrack to my sins

Baby, I'm dying, dying, dying, dying to live

So, I dream into it

Ooh-ooh, dream into it

Ooh-ooh

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 (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
