Electric Light Orchestra - Living thing lyrics

Sailin' away on the crest of a wave It's like magic Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and sliding It's magic And you and your sweet desire You took me, oh, higher and higher baby It's a livin' thing It's a terrible thing to lose It's a givin' thing What a terrible thing to lose I'm takin' a dive (dive, dive...) Dive (dive, dive...) Making believe this is what you've conceived From your worst day (I'm takin' a dive) Moving in line when you look back in time To the first day (I'm takin', I'm takin') And you and your sweet desire (Don't you do it, don't you do it) Taking me, oh, higher and higher baby It's a livin' thing It's a terrible thing to lose It's a givin' thing What a terrible thing to lose I'm takin' a dive (dive, dive...) All the same (same, same...) Hey (hey, hey...) Takin' a dive 'cause you can't halt the slide Floating downstream (I'm takin' a dive) So let her go, don't start spoiling the show It's a bad dream (I'm takin', I'm takin') And you and your sweet desire (Don't you do it, don't you do it) Taking me, oh, higher and higher baby It's a livin' thing It's a terrible thing to lose It's a givin' thing What a terrible thing to lose It's a livin' thing It's a terrible thing to lose It's a givin' thing What a terrible thing to lose
