๐ Lyrics
I was told a million times of all the people in my way
And how I have to keep on trying, just get better every day
But if I crossed a million rivers, and I rode a million miles
Then I'd still be where I started, bread and butter for a smile
Well, I sold a million mirrors in a shop in alleyway
But I never saw my face in any window, any day
Now, they say your folks are telling you to be a superstar
But I tell you just be satisfied and stay right where you are
Keep yourself alive, yeah
Keep yourself alive
All you people
Keep yourself alive
Well I loved a million women in a belladonic haze
And I ate a million dinners brought to me on silver trays
Give me everything I need to feed my body and my soul
And I'll grow a little bigger, then that can be my goal
I was told a million times of all the troubles in my way
How I had to keep on trying and get better every day
But if I crossed a million rivers and I rode a million miles
Then I'd still be where I started, same as when I'd started
Keep yourself alive, yeah
Keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and money
Honey, you'll survive
Woo-hoo
Oh
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive, oh
Take you all your time and money
To keep me satisfied
Do you think you're better every day?
No, I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave, yeah
Keep yourself alive, come on
Keep yourself alive
All you people
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive, yes
You've gotta keep yourself alive
All you pretty people
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive, ooh,
Keep yourself alive
All you people
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive, yes
Keep yourself alive...
And how I have to keep on trying, just get better every day
But if I crossed a million rivers, and I rode a million miles
Then I'd still be where I started, bread and butter for a smile
Well, I sold a million mirrors in a shop in alleyway
But I never saw my face in any window, any day
Now, they say your folks are telling you to be a superstar
But I tell you just be satisfied and stay right where you are
Keep yourself alive, yeah
Keep yourself alive
All you people
Keep yourself alive
Well I loved a million women in a belladonic haze
And I ate a million dinners brought to me on silver trays
Give me everything I need to feed my body and my soul
And I'll grow a little bigger, then that can be my goal
I was told a million times of all the troubles in my way
How I had to keep on trying and get better every day
But if I crossed a million rivers and I rode a million miles
Then I'd still be where I started, same as when I'd started
Keep yourself alive, yeah
Keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and money
Honey, you'll survive
Woo-hoo
Oh
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive, oh
Take you all your time and money
To keep me satisfied
Do you think you're better every day?
No, I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave, yeah
Keep yourself alive, come on
Keep yourself alive
All you people
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive, yes
You've gotta keep yourself alive
All you pretty people
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive, ooh,
Keep yourself alive
All you people
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive, yes
Keep yourself alive...
