That I'm alive and that's all
But you've got to live a little bit faster
That I can get up just as fast as I fall
I ain't lost and I ain't searching
I know I should be going somewhere I just can't arrive
And I can walk and run but I'll never crawl
I don't know about the people that I read about in books
I know I should be going somewhere I just can't arrive

And the kings and queens around my room with their quiet dirty looks
A reason for believing that I've never been alive, alive, alive
That I can get up just as fast as I fall
I know I should be going somewhere I just can't arrive

And I can't change the wind and make it blow the other way
A reason for believing that I've never been alive
That I'm alive and that's all

And in the end it doesn't matter at all
'Cause you've got a little less time to go
But then you know me very well

I'm a fool and I can tell
And I can't change the world and make it go the other way
And I can walk and run but I'll never crawl
And in the end it doesn't matter at all
I ain't lost and I ain't searching
A reason for believing that I've never been alive, alive
But then you know me very well
I'm a fool and I can tell
I don't know about the people that I read about in books
And the Kings and Queens around my room with their quiet dirty looks
