Big boats, big planes, big autographs
A scene straight from a 60s photograph
We both know the moment never lasts

Sex and drugs and rock'n'roll
Eventually will take its toll
Life is only exciting seconds before the crash

I'm on the ground
You're in the air
Flying around in your electric chair
Flip the switch to reach the heights
Miles above the city lights

When you're livin' the high life
The whole world seems so small
One of these days you're bound to fall
When you're givin' next to nothing
You might as well give it all
One of these days
You're bound to fall

Both hands held out across my face
Too afraid to let you fall from grace
Every stunt you pull I lose a little faith
I've lost count of all the times
You stepped across the borderline
Knocking on heaven's door
Ready to die to feel alive

I'm on the ground
You're in the air
Without a tie without a care
Cut the cord to reach the heights
Miles above the city lights

When you're livin' the high life
The whole world seems so small
One of these days you're bound to fall
When you're givin' next to nothing
You might as well give it all
One of these days
You're bound to fall

It's a sacrifice
You gotta pay the price
When you touch the sky
You're bound to fall
You're bound to fall
Nobody can have it all, it all, it all
We are bound to fall

When you're livin' the high life
The whole world seems so small
One of these days you're bound to fall
When you're givin' next to nothing
You might as well give it all
One of these days
You're bound to fall

It's a sacrifice
You gotta pay the price
When you touch the sky
You're bound to fall
To fall, to fall, to fall, to fall
