Philip Oakey And Georgio Moroder Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm going to change my luck tonight
Don't want to cry anymore
Not going to take what fortune brings
I'm going to make my own law
Goodbye bad times
Goodbye ever more
Goodbye bad times
I'm going to walk out your door

I think I'm happy now
And I think I'm in love
I'm free at last somehow
I'm going to stay here above
Goodbye bad times
Goodbye ever more
Goodbye bad times
I'm going to walk out your door
And now the sun is shining down
The way that I foresaw
And if I have to face the clouds
I'll beat them like before
Goodbye bad times
Goodbye ever more
Goodbye bad times
I'm going to walk out your door
And now the sun is shining down
The way that I foresaw
And if I have to face the clouds
I'll beat them like before
Goodbye bad times
Goodbye ever more
Goodbye bad times
I'm going to walk out your door
Goodbye bad times
Goodbye ever more

Goodbye bad times
I'm going to walk
