Good To Be Alive

You told me you're an orphan

The same old standard line

Then, we moved in together

All you did was moan and cry

Talkin' like you'd make it

On life's big movie screen

I had to say I loved you

Just to try and keep the peace

Hustler

What are you doin' with your time?

I'm slow to catch on

But I think you're wastin' mine

You're running low tonight

Jack up and get it right

You know you're going down

Ain't it good to be alive?

I couldn't make excuses

About everything you said

You wanna show your bruises?

Let's throw a party for the band

Now, here they come a dancin'

Like the powder to your nose

Why don't you cut your head off, spite your face?

Let's do the show

Hustler

What are you doin' with your time?

I'm slow catching on

But I think you're wastin' mine

Hustler

You're running low tonight

The station's right close by

Pack up your car and drive

Ain't it good to be alive?

Tearing at the membrane

Of the first new thing in years

Found a nagging consolation

In a glass of Everclear

And the ugly truth has raped you

Saying you're a lousy lay

But isn't everything that way?

Hey

Ain't it good to be alive?

So good to be alive
