Lyrics

Alive

[Verse 1]

"Son," she said, "have I got a little story for you

What you thought was your daddy was nothing but a...

While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen

Your real daddy was dyin'

Sorry you didn't see him, but I'm glad we talked"

[Chorus]

Oh, I, oh I'm still alive

Hey, I, oh I'm still alive

Hey, I, oh I'm still alive

Hey, oh

[Verse 2]

While she walks slowly across a young man's room

She said, "I'm ready for you"

Why I can't remember anything to this very day

'Cept the look, the look

Oh, you know where, now I can't see I just stare

[Chorus]

I, I'm still alive

Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive

Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive

Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive, yeah

Ooh yeah, yeah, yеah, yeah, oh, ooh

[Verse 3]

"Is something wrong", she said, of coursе there is

"You're still alive," she said, oh, and do I deserve to be?

Is that the question?

And if so, if so who answers?

Who answers?

[Chorus]

I, oh I'm still alive

Hey, I, oh I'm still alive

Yeah, I, oh I'm still alive

Yeah, I

Ooh, I'm still alive!

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!

[Guitar Solo]

Ooh yeah, ooh ooh

Ooh yeah, yeah yeah yeah
