Intro

Verse 1

This country is my canvas

I leave paint trails as I go.

 I'm painting a picture

 That you can only see from outer space.

My bedroom is your sofa,

I take my breakfast on the train.

 I'm tired and I'm dirty, and not a second goes to waste.

Chorus

 I'll be dead but never dying, and I say that with a smile

 It's just my way of trying to be aliive.

Verse 3

Well I'll never get to grey hair

And I'll never be in the black,

 But I can tell stories that most can hardly dream.

Dreaming is a luxury,

Like stopping-staring and beauty sleep.

 I'll stop when I'm finished,

 And sleep is for the weak.

Chorus

 I'll be dead but never dying, and I say that with a smile

 It's just my way of trying to be aliive.

 Heaven's in the half light, and that's where I reside,

 I got a whiskey and a wry smile

 I check my vital signs.

Bridge

 And when I'm gone,

 The world revolves, and life goes on,

So mark no grave,

Forget my name.

If the song remains

And everybody's got a drink and a smile,

 Well, that's just fine by me yeah.

Chorus

 Heaven's in the half-light, and that's where I reside,

 I got a whiskey and a wry smile

 I check my vital signs.

 I'll be dead but never dying, and I say that with a smile

 It's just my way of trying to be aliive.
