"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 13

Your real daddy was dyin'

Sorry you didn't see him

But I'm glad we talked"

Oh I, oh, I'm still alive

Yeah, yeah, I, oh, I'm still alive

Yeah, yeah, I, oh, I'm still alive, yeah, oh

While she walks slowly

Across a young man's room

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

I can't remember anything to this very day

'Cept the look, the look

Oh, you know where

Now I can't see, I just stare

I, I, I'm still alive

Yeah, yeah, I, oh, I'm still alive

Yeah, yeah, I, oh, I'm still alive

Yeah, yeah, I, oh, I'm still alive, yeah

"Is something wrong?" She said

Of course there is

"You're still alive," she said

Oh, do I deserve to be?

Is that the question?

And if so, if so

Who answers?

Who answers?

I, I, I'm still alive

Yeah, yeah, I, oh, I'm still alive

Yeah, yeah, I, oh, I'm still alive
