Lyrics

(Taking off)

I was told a million times of all the troubles in my way

Mind you 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

Well, I sold a million mirrors in a shopping alleyway

But I never saw my face in any window any day

Now they say your folks are telling you, "Be a superstar"

But I tell you, just be satisfied and stay right where you are

Keep yourself alive, yeah, keep yourself alive

Take you all your time and-a money, honey, you'll survive

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 everythin' I need to feed my body and my soul

And I'll grow a little bigger, maybe that can be my goal

I was told a million times of all the people in my way

How I had to keep on tryin' 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

Keep yourself alive, come on, keep yourself alive

Take you all your time and-a money, honey, you'll survive (shake)

(Ow!)

Keep yourself alive, whoa, keep yourself alive

Oh, take you all your time and-a money to keep me satisfied

Do you think you're better every day?

No, I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave

Keep yourself alive, come on, keep yourself alive

You take your time and take my money, keep yourself alive

Keep yourself alive, come on, keep yourself alive

All you people, keep yourself alive

Keep yourself alive, come on, come on, keep yourself alive

Take you all your time and-a money to keep me satisfied

Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive

All you people, keep yourself alive

Take you all your time and money, honey, you will survive

Keep you satisfied, keep yourself alive…
