One Of The Living

(h. knight)

Producer: mike chapman

Albums: mad max beyond thunderdome soundtrack (85),

Grammy award: best rock vocal performance, female (86)



In the desert sun every step that you take could be the final one

In the burning heat hanging on the edge of destruction

You 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 shoot bullets of fire

Don't wanna fight but sometimes you've got to

You're some soul survivor

There's just one thing you've got to know

You've got ten more thousand miles to go



Because you're one of the living

And if we can't stick together

One of the living

Who's gonna make it tonight



Walk tall, cool, collected and savage

Walk tall, bruised, sensual, ravaged

It's every man for himself, every woman, every child

A new breed, ferocious and wild



And all they want to do is shoot bullets of fire

They wanna fight and sometimes you've got to

You're some soul survivor

There's just one thing you've got to know

You've got ten more thousand years to go



Because you're one of the living

And if we can't stick together

One of the living

Who's gonna make it tonight
