Intro

  Maybe you talk too high, man.

Maybe I talk too slow.

But you've got to live a little bit faster

'cause you've got a little less time to go.

I ain't lost and I ain't searching,

but then you know me very well.

And I can't change the wind

  and make it blow the other way.

I'm a fool and I can tell...

  ... that I'm alive and that's all,

  that I can get up just as fast as I fall.

  And I can walk and run but I'll never crawl.

  And in the end it doesn't matter at all.

  I don't know about the peo ple

  that I read about in books.

  And the kings and queens around my room

  with their quiet and dirty looks.

  I know I should be go ing somewhere,

  I just can't arrive.

  There's a reason for believ ing

  that I've never been alive.

Alive.

  I ain't lost and I ain't searching,

but then you know me very well.

And I can't change the world

  and make it go the other way.

Alive, alive.
