Lyrics of Alive

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
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 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
A reason for believing that i've never been alive

I know i should be going somewhere i just can't arrive
A reason for believing that i've never been alive, alive, alive
