While I'm Still Alive

[Verse 1]

Playing the game with the chips on my shoulder

Checking in the mirror as my coffee cup gets colder

Stagger and swagger, combing my hair

If tomorrow's not there, then at least today's all mine

[Chorus]

While I'm still alive

While I'm still alive

While I'm still alive

[Verse 2]

Strutting my stuff, I'm blagging the damage

From coupling with headlines, I was suckled on salvage

The fighting's exciting, the age is dramatic

I'm crackling with static, just jiving to survive

[Chorus]

While I'm still alive

While I'm still alive

While I'm still alive

[Bridge]

Take a stroll down the side roads, I know you want to

A shock in the dark can be good for your heart, oh yeah

[Chorus]

While I'm still alive

While I'm still alive

While I'm still alive

[Verse 3]

Scuffling along on the crest of a wave

Laughing and grafting or jerking and working

Striking a match where life is a gas

I need the flash to make it all worthwhile

[Chorus]

While I'm still alive

While I'm still alive

While I'm still alive
