"Son," she said, "have I got a little story for you...

What you thought was your daddy was nothin' but a...

While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen

Oh, she walks slowly, across a young man's room.

She said "I'm ready...for you..."

"I can't remember anything of this very day,

'cept the look, the look...

Oh, you know where, now I can't see, I just stare..."








I, I'm still alive

Hey I, but, I'm still alive

Hey I, boy, I'm still alive

Hey I, I, I, I'm still alive, yeah

Ooh yeah...yeah yeah yeah...oh...oh...



"Is something wrong?" she said

Of course there is

"You're still alive," she said

Oh, and do I deserve to be?

Hey I, oh, I'm still alive

Hey I, but, I'm still alive

Yeah I, ooh, I'm still alive

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
