One Of The Living - Lyrics by Tina Turner


Lyrics
In the desert sun ev'ry step that you take could be the final one.
And in the burning heathanging on the edge of destruction.
Noyou can't stop the pain of your children crying out in your head
They always said that the living would envy the dead.
So now you're gonna shootshoot bullets of firedon't wanna fightbut sometimes you've got to.
You're some soul survivorand there's just one thing you've got to know:
You've got ten more thousand miles to go because you'reone of the living - and if you can't stick togetherwellyou're one of the living - who's gonna make it tonight ?
Walk tallcoolcollectedbut savage.
Walk tallbruisedsensualravaged.
It's ev'ry man for himselfev'ry womanev'ry childa new breedferocious and wild.
And all they wanna do is shoot bullets of firethey wanna fightbut sometimes you've got to.
You're some soul survivorand there's just one thing you've got to know:
You've got ten more thousand miles to go because you'reone of the living - and if you can't stick togetherwellyou're one of the living - who's gonna make it tonight ?
You're one of the living - and if we can't stick togetherwellyou're one of the living - who's gonna make it tonight ?
Shoot bullets of fire...
You're one of the living - and if we can't stick together...
You're one of the living - and if we can't stick together...
You're one of the living - and if we can't stick together...
