Keep Yourself Alive - 2011 Mix

I was told a million times

Of all the troubles in my way

Tried to 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

I sold a million mirrors

In a shoppin' alley way

But I never saw my face

In any window any day

Well they say your folks are telling you

"Be a superstar"

But I tell you, just be satisfied

Stay right where you are

Keep yourself alive, yeah

Keep yourself alive

It'll take you all your time and a-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 ev'rything I need

To 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 people in my way

How I had to keep on trying

And get better ev'ry 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, c'mon

Keep yourself alive

Ooh, it'll take you all your time and a-money

Honey, you'll survive, hey

Keep yourself alive, wow

Keep yourself alive

Oh, it'll take you all your time and a-money

To keep me satisfied

Do you think you're better ev'ry day?

No, I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave

Keep yourself alive, c'mon

Keep yourself alive

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 you satisfied
