Son, she said, have I got a little story for you 
What you thought was your daddy was only just a 
While you were sleepin' home alone at age thirteen 
Your real daddy was dyin' 

Sorry you didn't see him, 
But I'm glad we talked 

[Chorus] 
Oh I, oh, I'm still alive 
Hey, I, I, oh, I'm still alive 
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive 
Hey 

Oh, she walks slowly, across a young man's room 
She says I'm ready 
I can't remember anything to this very day 
Except the look, the look 

Oh, you know where, now I can't see, I just stare 

[Repeat Chorus] 

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

[Repeat Chorus] 

I'm still alive
