Alive [July 22, 2006]

"Son," she said. "Have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy was nothin' 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."

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

Oh, she walks slowly across a young man's room
She said, "I'm ready for you."
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

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

Ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh

"Is something wrong?" she said
Of course there is
"You're still alive," she said
Oh, but do I deserve to be?
Is that the question?
And if so, if so, who answers? Who answers?

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

Wow, uh-huh
Yeah, uh-huh
Oh, ow, uh-huh
Yeah, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh
Oh
