I get up--i run through the world like a fire

Heat it up--i swim in the flames of desire

Chase it if you care--take it if you dare--it's there in the air...

Answer to the gun--dance in the sun--run boy run...

Run for your life--you're movin' on and on

The art of survival is turnin' me on





And i'll be chasin' it all night long (don'tcha wanna live)





I get out--i roam through the streets like a tiger

Let it out--i swing like a bird on a wire

Everywhere you go everybody knows--oh don'tcha know...

Everythin' you do--anybody new--they're all on to you...

Fight for your life--turn it all around

The art of survival isn't gettin' me down





And i'll be chasin' it all night long (don'tcha wanna live)
