Take off
I was told a million times of all the troubles in my way
Mind you grow a little wiser, a little better every day
But if I crossed a million rivers and I rode a million miles
Then I'd still be where I started, bread and butter for a smile
Well I sold a million mirrors in a shopping alley way
But I never saw my face in any window any day
Now they say, “Your folks are telling you, ‘Be a super star.’
But I tell you just be satisfied. Stay right where you are.”
Keep yourself alive, yeah
Keep yourself alive
Ooh, it'll take you all your time and money
Honey you'll survive
Well I've loved a million women in a belladonic haze
And I ate a million dinners brought to me on silver trays
Give me everything I need to feed my body and my soul
When I'll grow a little bigger, Maybe that can be my goal
I was told a million times of all the people in my way
How I had to keep on trying
And get better every day
But if I crossed a million rivers and I rode a million miles
Then I'd still be where I started
Same as when I started
Keep yourself alive, come on
Keep yourself alive
Ooh, it'll take you all your time and money
Honey, you'll survive
shake
Keep yourself alive, wow
Keep yourself alive, oh
It'll take you all your time and money
To keep me satisfied
Do you think you're better every day?
No, I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave
Keep yourself alive, c'mon
Keep yourself alive
Mm, you take your time and take more money
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
C'mon keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
C'mon c'mon keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and a money
To keep me satisfied
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and money honey
You will survive
Keep you satisfied
Keep yourself alive
