No one hears my voice, the songs of lesser men
The sun is going down, never to rise again
The cloak is hard on home, a hollow is the bone
Don't slow down or rest, got to go and go and go and go and go
Eyes demute, staring at the ground
Blind to all the color, going round and round
There's not a noble plan, why do we pretend
You can now stand, where now is the end
Front of people, leaping round the fire
Swirling naked round the funeral pyre
Dropping it all and running, looking to the sky
Feeling the body working, wishing he could fly
Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive
See me on the coast, dreaming of being free
Demons of the mind, stronger than you or me
Ever we seek to fly, ever we seek to own
Never to know love, and never to be alone
Population swells, falling down down the well
Planted the plaintive cries, dragging it out to hell
Never we trudge along, through the darkness of the day
Everyone loses hope, everything fades away
Spinning, dancing in a thunderstorm
Crashing, rending wind to keep home warm
Five rejoin hands on a crowded street
Screaming up into the sun's bright heat
Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive
Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive
I've got to do this, I can't let it end
It's going straight down the line, through the surface of skin
I've got to stay inside and see it
Got to stay inside and I've got to see it
Standing on the cliff a wild wind blows
Throwing dollar bills while the howling grows
Walking deep and dark in tunnels underground
Shredded all from the secrets they found
Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive
Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive
Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive
Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive, stay alive
Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive
