When my gut starts bursting From the blue button up shirt That my friend just bought me And Walking a few blocks Leaves me wheezing Well at least I know that I’m alive
When I nick the tip of my chin Barely piercing my aging skin And a tiny droplet starts falling Then at least I know I am alive
When I bust my knee From falling upstairs While I’m trying to run Tripping up like Your two year old son Well at least I know I am alive
When my vision blurs And my back cracks Like I got a pair of spurs Clacking and smacking Pop, snap, crackling Like a bowl of rice crispies Causing a severe state of pain At least I know I am alive
When my brother and best friend Go doing that grave dancing Dirt napping coffin trapping trend I will cry to see them die But at least I will know that I am alive
When my memories start to go Till I don’t know Who you are Or where I am And I forget my brilliant Exit plan Losing the best of what I was And not what I am Well, **** man If the Alzheimer’s kicks in I won’t be able to remember What I was just saying So, put me on that morphine drip Let my consciousness mist up and slip away Cause on that day I’m not going to say At least I am alive
