That's right, come on
Just you, keep yourself alive

I was told a million times
Of all the troubles in my way
Might he grow a little wiser
Little better every day

But if I crossed a million rivers
And I rode a million miles
Still be where I started
Bread and butter for a smile

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, 'be a superstar'
Tell you just be satisfied, stay right where you are

Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive
Shake

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
Feed my body and my soul
Then I'll grow a bigger, maybe that can be my goal
Told a million times of all the people in my way
How I'd have to keep on trying and get better every day
But if I crossed a million rivers, and I rode a million miles
Still be where I started, same as when I started

Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive
