Survivor Lyrics by Joe Egan

Map

0

[Verse 1]
City boy tryin' to get to his paradise
Says California is where he should be
Get to the ocean, breathe in the clean, fresh air
Make a lot of money and set himself free
He’s a promotion man, making the rounds, getting in the know
Selling the records, getting them played on the radio
He's a star of the show

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, take a look, here he comes
Ease your mind, see him in action

[Chorus]
He's a survivor (on the way up)
He’s a survivor (he'll never go down)
He's a survivor (on the way up)
He's a survivor (he'll never go down)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh…

[Verse 2]
Telephone numbers, Hollywood parties
Exchanging star sights, posing in cars
Seen in the right places with the right woman
Wheelin' and dealin', dining with the stars
While others are sinking, he's in there thinking one step ahead
His head above water, in for the slaughter
It’s easy said, it’s as good as red

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, take a look, here he comes
Ease your mind, see him in action

[Chorus]
He's a survivor (on the way up)
He’s a survivor (he'll never go down)
He's a survivor (on the way up)
He's a survivor (he’ll never go down)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh…
He's a survivor, he's a survivor
He's a survivor, he's a survivor
