Colma, CA

[Verse 1]

Have you been to Colma

Where the dead outnumber the living

I guess I live there now

I guess I live there now

Well, gotta put your roots down

And this is where I'm building

Where should I hang up my diploma?

It's great to be alive in Colma

[Chorus]

And it ain't half as bad as it might seem

It's lonely here at night, but the roads are always clean

And somebody tried to move in down the street

So I fired blanks into his yard and he was gone the next week

[Verse 2]

Have you been to Colma

Where DiMaggio is buried

I havе picnics by his grave

I have picnics by his grave

I wondеr if he liked fame

What he thought of being married

To Marilyn and Coca-Cola

It's great to be alive in Colma

[Chorus]

It ain't half as bad as it might seem

It's lonely here at night, but the roads are always clean

And somebody tried to move in down the street

So I fired blanks into his yard and he was gone the next week

[Verse 3]

Have you been to Colma

Shy of two thousand people

Everybody knows their neighbors

Everybody knows their neighbors

Wanted something greater

But all things being equal

No one here can leave me broken

It's great to be alive in Colma

[Chorus]

And it ain't half as bad as it might seem

It's lonely here at night, but the roads are always clean

And somebody tried to move in down the street

So I fired blanks into his yard and he was gone the next week

[Outro]

It's great to be alive in Colma

It's great to be alive in Colma

It's great to be alive

It's great to be alive

It's great to be alive in Colma

It's great to be alive in Colma

It's great to be alive

It's great to be alive
