Alive (Mookie Blaylock Demo, 23 October 1990) Songtext
von Pearl Jam

Son, she said
Have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy
Was nothin′ but a...
While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen
Your real daddy was dyin′
Sorry you didn't see him
But I'm glad that we talked

Oh I, o-oh I′m still alive
Hey, hey I, o-oh I′m still alive
Hey I, o-oh I'm still alive
Hey, oh


While she walks slowly
Across a young man′s room
She said, "I'm ready for you"
I can′t remember anything
To this very day
'Cept the look, the look
Oh, you know where
Now I can′t see, I just stare

I, I'm still alive
Yeah, yeah, I, o-oh I'm still alive
Yeah, yeah, I, o-oh I′m still alive
Yeah, yeah, I, o-oh I′m still alive, yeah

"Is something wrong?", she said
Of course there is
"You're still alive", she said
Oh, do I deserve to be?
Is that the question?
And if so, if so
Who answers, who answers?

I, o-oh I′m still alive
Yeah, yeah, I, o-oh I'm still alive
Yeah, yeah, I, o-oh I′m still alive
Yeah, yeah, I, mmh I'm still alive

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


Wow aha, yeah aha
Ooh wow, come on!
Yeah, aha
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
