Released: June 8, 1999

Songwriter: Joe Elliott

Producer: Def Leppard Pete Woodroffe

Released on the CD-single for "Goodbye"

Do you have the will to walk on water
Do you have the strength to part the waves
Do you have the lips to kiss a blood red rose
'Fore the colors start to fade
But are you tough enough to walk through the fire
Are you (???) split the hangman's noose

Wanna ride, gonna slide, take it over the line
Hit the pin, kick it in
I'm gonna win again

I don't wanna live forever
I just want a slice of the pie to call my own
I don't wanna live forever
Do you wanna be, like I wanna be
Immortal

Do you have the bread to feed the hunger
Do you have to choose to turn water to wine
Do you have the tears to cry me a river
Build a bridge to the other side
But are you holding out for the late edition
Gonna read all about it cause it's frontpage news
So high, bone dry, got a thirst for life
Kiss the skin, drink it in
I'm gonna win again

I don't wanna live forever
I just want a slice of the pie to call my own
I don't wanna live forever
Do you wanna be, like I wanna be
Immortal

Just like the gates of heaven
There's no way back, there's no way back
I'm ten miles high got the keys to the kingdom
I'm back on track
Got a life and I'm living it

Do you have the (game??) to the tell me a secret
Or will I read all about it when it's frontpage news

Wanna ride, gonna slide, take it over the line
Hit the pin, kick it in
I'm gonna win again

I don't wanna live forever
I just want a slice of the pie to call my own
I don't wanna live forever
Do you wanna be, like I wanna be
I don't wanna live forever
I just want a slice of the pie to call my own
I don't wanna live forever
Do you wanna be, like I wanna be immortal
I don't wanna live forever
Cause I wanna be immortal
Do you wanna be immortal
I don't wanna live forever
Like I wanna be immortal
Don't you wanna be immortal
I don't wanna live forever
Cause I wanna be immortal
Do you wanna be immortal
I don't wanna live forever
Like I wanna be immortal

Def Leppard

In 1977, Rick Savage, Tony Kenning, and Pete Willis were students at a secondary school in Sheffield, England. They had a band called Atomic Mass. Lead singer Joe Elliott joined later that year, and suggested a new band name. Within 10 years, that name, Def Leppard, became one of the most recognised in English rock music. To date, they have released more than 40 singles.

Def Leppard was a definitive part of the new wave of British heavy metal bands in the late 1970s. Their first three albums had tremendous momentum, each outselling the one before. Then, after the release of Pyromania in 1983, drummer Rick Allen lost his arm in a car accident. The band stuck by him through his recovery and retraining.

When Def Leppard came back, they came back hard. Their fourth album, 1987’s Hysteria, was a hard rock masterpiece that took the world by storm. By then the music video had matured as a film style, and Hysteria’s singles and videos had enough pop, sex, colour, and glam to put it over the top. Hysteria was one of the biggest-selling albums of the 1980s.
