The Living Daylights (1987)

Title Song: The Living Daylights
by Pal Waaktaar, performed by a-ha

Hey driver, where're we going?
I swear my nerves are showing.
Set my hopes up way too high.
The living's in the way we die.

Comes the morning and the headlights fade away.
Hundred thousand people, I'm the one they frame.
I've been waiting long for one of us to say
"Save the darkness, let it never fade away."

The living daylights.
Oh, the living daylights.

Alright, hold on tight now.
It's down, down to the wire.
Set your hopes up way too high.
The living's in the way we die.

Comes the morning and the headlights fade away.
Hundred thousand changes, everything's the same.
I've been waiting long for one of us to say
"Save the darkness, let it never fade away."

The living daylights.
Oh, the living daylights.
Oh, the living daylights.

Comes the morning and the headlights fade away.
Hundred thousand people, I'm the one they frame.

The living daylights.
Oh, the living daylights.

Set your hopes up way too high.
The living's in the way we die.
Set your hopes up way too high.
The living's in the way we die.
