Alive lyrics

Maybe you talk too high, man

Maybe I talk too slow

But you've got to live a little bit faster

'Cause you've got a little less time to go

I ain't lost and I ain't searching

But then you know me very well

And I can't change the wind

And make it blow the other way

I'm a fool and I can tell

That I'm alive and that's all.

That I can get up just as fast as I fall

And I can walk and run but I'll never crawl

And in the end it doesn't matter at all

I don't know about the people that I read about in books

And the Kings and Queens around my room

With their quiet dirty looks

I know I should be going somewhere, I just can't arrive

There's a reason for believing that I've never been alive, alive

I ain't lost and I ain't searching

But then you know me very well

And I can't change the world

And make it go the other way

I'm a fool and I can tell.

That I'm alive and that's all

That I can get up just as fast as I fall

And I can walk and run but I'll never crawl

And in the end it doesn't matter at all

I don't know about those people that I read about in books

And the Kings and Queens around my room

With their quiet dirty looks

I know I should be going somewhere, I just can't arrive

There's a reason for believing that I've never been alive

I know I should be going somewhere I just can't arrive.

There's a reason for believing

That I've never been alive, alive, alive
