[Verse 1]
Have you been to Colma
Where the dead outnumber the living
I guess I live there now
I guess I live there now

Well, gotta put your roots down
And this is where I'm building
Where should I hang up my diploma?
It's great to be alive in Colma

[Chorus]
And it ain't half as bad as it might seem
It's lonely here at night, but the roads are always clean
And somebody tried to move in down the street
So I fired blanks into his yard and he was gone the next week

[Verse 2]
Have you been to Colma
Where DiMaggio is buried
I havе picnics by his grave
I have picnics by his grave

I wondеr if he liked fame
What he thought of being married
To Marilyn and Coca-Cola
It's great to be alive in Colma
[Chorus]
It ain't half as bad as it might seem
It's lonely here at night, but the roads are always clean
And somebody tried to move in down the street
So I fired blanks into his yard and he was gone the next week

[Verse 3]
Have you been to Colma
Shy of two thousand people
Everybody knows their neighbors
Everybody knows their neighbors

Wanted something greater
But all things being equal
No one here can leave me broken
It's great to be alive in Colma

[Chorus]
And it ain't half as bad as it might seem
It's lonely here at night, but the roads are always clean
And somebody tried to move in down the street
So I fired blanks into his yard and he was gone the next week

[Outro]
It's great to be alive in Colma
It's great to be alive in Colma
It's great to be alive
It's great to be alive
It's great to be alive in Colma
It's great to be alive in Colma
It's great to be alive
It's great to be alive
