The man who stayed alive
People came to see me
Self-destruct on stage
Tickets for the circus
And the masquerade
Come a little closer
See what you might find
Stepping from the shadows
the man who stayed alive
And all the papers headlines
That I wouldn’t last the day
and when the city woke up
That I’d probably passed away
I am
The man who stayed alive
I am
The man who stayed alive
look who came to visit
sitting in my chair
all the years he didn’t
suddenly he cares
isn’t it ironic
running thru my veins
all this medication
strangely feels the same
and all the papers carried
was a bitter sweet goodbye
an obituary written
for the man who stayed alive
I am
The man who stayed alive
I am
The man who stayed alive
Oh, it’s a lovely day
To walk thru Stephens green
And hear the children play
when the ice cream van is near
Lazy Sundays
I am
The man who stayed alive
I am
The man who stayed alive
I am
The man who stayed alive
I am
The man who stayed alive
