Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was told a million times
Of all the troubles in my way
Might he grow a little wiser
Little better every day
But if I crossed a million rivers
And I rode a million miles
Then I'd still be where I started
Bread and butter for a smile
[Verse 2]
Well, I sold a million mirrors
In a shop in Alley Way
But I never saw my face
In any window, any day
Now they say your folks are telling you
Be a super star
But I tell you just be satisfied
Stay right where you are
[Verse 3]
Keep yourself alive (Come on)
Keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and the money
Keep you satisfied
[Verse 4]
Well, I've loved a million women
In a belladonic haze
And I ate a million dinners
Brought to me on silver trays
Give me everything I need
To feed my body and my soul
And I'll grow a little bigger
Maybe that can be my goal
[Verse 5]
I was told a million times
Of all the people in my way
How I had to keep on trying
And get better every day
But if I crossed a million rivers
And I rode a million miles
Then I'd still be where I started
Same as when I started
[Verse 6]
Keep yourself alive (Come on)
Keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and the money
To keep you satisfied
[Verse 7]
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and the money
Honey, you'll survive
[Verse 8]
Do you think you're better every day?
No, I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave
[Verse 9]
Keep yourself alive (Yeah)
Keep yourself alive
All you people
Keep yourself alive
[Verse 10]
Keep yourself alive (Come on)
Keep yourself alive
All you people
Keep yourself alive
[Verse 11]
Keep yourself alive (Come on, come on)
Keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and the money
Honey, you'll survive
[Verse 12]
Keep yourself alive (Come on)
Keep yourself alive
All you people
Keep yourself alive
[Verse 13]
Take you all your time and money, honey
Oh, keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
