"Keep Yourself Alive" Lyrics

I was told a million times
Of all the troubles in my way
But you grow a little wiser
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 alleyway
But I never saw my face in
Any window any day
Now they say your folks are tellin you
Be a superstar
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

Ow

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
Feed my body and my soul
And I'll grow a little bigger
Maybe that can be my goal
I was told a million times
Of all the troubles 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, all you pretty people keep yourself alive

Shake

Keep yourself alive, oh yeah, Keep yourself alive
Oh, it'll take your time it'll take my money
Keep you satisfied

Do you think you're better every day ?
No, I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave

c'mon and
Keep yourself alive, c'mon, Keep yourself alive
Oh, take you all your time and take more money
And honey you'll survive
Keep yourself alive (Keep on)
keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
C'mon c'mon keep yourself alive
C'mon and get it, get it, get boy
keep your self alive

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
