You know it all too well 

You and I, we walked through hell 

And back from the waves of the sea of pain 

We danced in the pouring rain 

But saner mornings found us aghast 

Musing upon the days of our past 



Take it or leave it - that's the way that we were 

Living it up like fallen angels on Earth 

Take it or leave it - you'd better believe 

A new star will shine, when we finally leave 



We feared no enemy 

And peace was meant to be 

Forever and for evermore 

The world seemed a place worth fighting for 

But saner evenings found us in doubt 

What is it that we're all about? 



Take it or leave it - that's the way that we were 

Living it up like fallen angels on Earth 

Take it or leave it - and you'd better believe 

A new star will shine, when we finally leave 



Take it or leave it - that's the way that we were 

Living it up like fallen angels on Earth 

Take it or leave it - and you'd better believe 

A new star will shine, when we finally leave 



Take it or leave it - you'd better believe me 

Take it or leave it - that's the way, that's the way that we were 



Take it or leave it - that's the way that we were 

Living it up like fallen angels on Earth 

Take it or leave it - and you'd better believe 

A new star will shine, when we finally leave 



Take it or leave it - that's the way that we were 

Living it up like fallen angels on Earth 

Take it or leave it - and you'd better believe 

A new star will shine, when we finally leave 



Take it or leave it - that's the way that we were 

Living it up like fallen angels on Earth 

Take it or leave it - and you'd better believe 

A new star will shine, when we finally leave
