(Doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo
Doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo)
Imagination, that's the way that it seems
Man can't only live in his dreams
Oh, it seems so hard
(Doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo
Doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo)
If I've lived a thousand times before
And if I'm gonna live anymore
Always brings me down
Everyone wants to live forever (ever)
Thinkin' that it'd be a lot better
Everyone wants to live for ever, woah
(Doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo
Doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo)
The bullet in my head starts heading south
It seems it stops the fever from shootin' out of my mouth
Life gushing all around
Everyone wants to live forever
Thinkin' that it'd be a lot better
Everyone wants to live forever, whoa
(Doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo
Doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo)
Everyone wants to live forever
But no one ever gets it together
Everyone wants to live forever, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
(Doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo
Doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo
Doo wop, doo wop, doo wop)
Doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo)
Man can't only live in his dreams
Oh, it seems so hard
Doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo)
And if I'm gonna live anymore
Always brings me down
Thinkin' that it'd be a lot better
Everyone wants to live for ever, woah
Doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo)
It seems it stops the fever from shootin' out of my mouth
Life gushing all around
Thinkin' that it'd be a lot better
Everyone wants to live forever, whoa
Doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo)
But no one ever gets it together
Everyone wants to live forever, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo wop wop, doo
