Lyrics Livin' Thing (Live) - Electric Light Orchestra

Sailin' away on the crest of a wave
It's like magic
Ah, rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and sliding
It's magic

And you, and your sweet desire
You took me, oh-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

Making believe this is what you've conceived
From your worst day (I'm takin' a dive)
Ah, 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
You took me, oh-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...
All the same...
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
You took me, oh-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

I'm takin' a dive...
All the same...
