Lyrics
Alive

Sidewalk-philosophers powwow with freaks
A penny-wise merchant yells obscenities
The shut-in mutiny got me kicked out
Of St. Ignatius of Loyola’s Town

Metaphor be damned
When the hour’s at hand

The fever she nailed me where nobody could
Hung on the palisade point of my wood
Thirsting for love is what kept me alive
A lust oasis never runs dry

Drink while you can
Until you live again

I know how it works ‘cause I’ve seen Old Yeller
I know the taste of a shotgun barrel
Nothing is different some twenty years on
Alkaline humors turn salt into stone

Metaphor be damned
When the hour’s at hand

Drink while you can
Until you live again
Drink while you can
Until you live again

c 2005 Sanford A. Mixon (BMI)
