Son she said
Have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy
Was nothin' but a...
While you were sitting
Home alone at age thirteen
Your real daddy was dyin'
Sorry you didn't see him
But I'm glad we talked,
Oh I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive, well...
Oh 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, yeah the look
Oh, you know where
Now I can't see,

Oh, oh 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?

Can you hear the war-cry?
The adrenaline bursts through the riverbanks.
Welcome to the skirmish.
I can't feel my legs!
Give me morphine,
Give me morphine,
Give me more!
No doubt,
This is a tragedy for all,
But it ain't over yet.
Heads up and thank -blam!- you're still alive!
Still air in my lungs,
Still blood in my veins.
We're part of the last garrison.
Still alive.
There's still air in my lungs,
Still blood in my veins.
We're part of the last garrison.
I wanna lie here and soak up the sun
But do not alight here, you cannot outrun
"This could be the end," he said, "the end my child."
So I made good use of my face and I smiled
Can you hear the war-cry?
The epinephrine blasts through the barriers.
Welcome to the skirmish.
I can't feel my arms.
Give me opium,
Give me opium,
Give me hope!
No doubt,
This is a tragedy for all,
But it ain't over yet.
Head's up and thank -blam!- you're still alive!
Still air in my lungs,
Still blood in my veins.
We're part of the last garrison.
Still alive.
There's still air in my lungs,
Still blood in my veins.
We're part of the last garrison.
I wanna lie here and soak up the sun
But do not alight here, you cannot outrun
“This could be the end,” he said, “the end my child.”
So I made good use of my face and I smiled
Let's toast to the fact we got this far
