OFF THE WALL

By Rod Temperton

When the world is on your shoulder

Gotta straigthen up your act and boogie down

If you can’t hang with the feelin’

Then there ain’t no room for you this part of town

‘Cause we’re the party people night and day

Livin’ crazy that’s the only way

So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf

And just enjoy yourself

Groove, let the madness in the music get to you

Life ain’t so bad at all

If you live it off the wall

Life ain’t so bad at all (live life off the wall)

Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)

You can shout out all you want to

‘Cause there ain’t no sin in folks all getting loud

If you take the chance and do it

Then there ain’t no one who’s gonna put you down

‘Cause we’re the party people night and day

Livin’ crazy that’s the only way

So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf

And just enjoy yourself

C’mon and groove, and let the madness in the music get to you

Life ain’t so bad at all

If you live it off the wall

Life ain’t so bad at all (live life off the wall)

Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)

Do what you want to do

There ain’t no rules, it’s up to you (ain’t no rules it’s all up to you)

It’s time to come alive

And party on right through the night (all right)

Gotta hide your inhibitions

Gotta let that fool loose deep inside your soul

Wanna see an exhibition

Better do it now before you get too old

‘Cause we’re the party people night and day

Livin’ crazy that’s the only way

So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf

And just enjoy yourself

Come on and groove, yeah

Let the madness in the music get to you

Life ain’t so bad at all

If you live it off the wall (life ain’t so bad at all)

Live it off the wall (live your life off the wall)

So tonight

Gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf

And just enjoy yourself

Come on and groove

Let the madness in the music get to you

Life ain’t so bad at all

If you live it off the wall

Tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf

And just enjoy yourself

Come on and groove (yeah)

Let the madness in the music get to you

Life ain’t so bad at all

If you live it off the wall

(Wanna live)

(Live it off the wall)

(Life ain’t bad at all)

(Live it off the wall)
