Paul McCarthy Songtext
von Mike Viola

Paul McCarthy, the man they call "Baz"
(1 2 3 4)
(1 2 3 4)

When I joined The Beatles
I wasn′t afraid of them
We played City Field
We played Shea Stadium
We dropped a bomb
Of love uranium

Flickering on and on and off through time circadians
White flag waving from The Plaza Hotel
Teenagers screaming in a cloud of seagull
My head was bleeding
Someone was ringing a bell
Pick up that Hoffner
Tell Me How It Feels

Do you know you're alive?
When you tuck me in for the night
Do you know, do you know you′re alive?


Do you know you're alive?
When you turn and kiss me goodbye
Do you know, do you know you're alive?

Mushrooms blistered the green, green grasses
Wherever we wondered the flowers were laughing
Would changed to color
We grew mustaches
Smothered each other in ketchup and dayglow molasses

Do you know you′re alive?
When you tuck me in for the night
Do you know, do you know you′re alive?

Do you know you're alive?
When you turn and kiss me goodbye
Do you know, do you know you′re alive?

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la

In the stillness of dust
Colliding with dust
Do your memories tally
With the facts and the fuss


Red nose, clown nose
Titanium caskets
Gray Suits, no collar
Ready for action

Do you know you're alive?
When you turn and kiss me goodbye
Do you know, do you know you′re alive?

Do you know you're alive
When the vultures pick from your eyes
Do you know?

We are forever, and that′s the way it's always been
We are forever, and that's the way its always been
We are forever
We are forever
