Live While You're Alive

It wasn't hard to realize

That your path was not a road that I could change

We couldn't make it through the night

And mercy was the one word I could pray

Now I'd probably rather be alone

And I know

That everybody's dreams are slipping through their hands

So play another song that can take me away

You've got to live while you're alive

You've got to live while you're alive, yeah

It's the same old situation

Getting over all the lies

But you've got to live while you're alive, yeah

No, no, no

I've got some coins and there's a card

And a broken heart, a full tank of lies

You know there ain't much left of me

It's just the way it has to be

You feel, you love, you die, baby

And I'm still standing here alone

Though I know

That everybody's dreams are slipping through their hands

Play another song to take this feeling away

You've got to live while you're alive

You've got to live while you're alive, yeah

It's the same old situation

Getting over all the lies

But you've got to live while you're alive

Don't try to say you're sorry

As compassion won't get from your face

In spite of all the soulache

I'll take the pieces I gave

And start over again

It's all about love

And everything you've got

I can't believe it's gone

No, no, no, oh, yeah

You've got to live while you're alive

You've got to live while you're alive, baby

It's the same old situation

Getting over all the lies

But you've got to live while you're alive

Come on, come on, come on

Yeah, yeah, baby

You've got to live, you've got to live, baby

Oh, yeah

Here you go
