Staying Alive

I have decided tonight I'm staying alive Just kicking and screaming Alive, I'm staying alive Blood boiling and streaming There are things Far too dark To comprehend Sleep on it One more night One more night My sad old friend Alive I'm staying alive Alive I'm staying alive Kicking and screaming Blood boiling and streaming Staying alive The worst is over
