Alex Ebert - To Feel Alive

{Verse 1}
Do what you need to feel alive
Dance round naked in the backyard
Drop the needle, play the 45
Smile like a child in the graveyard

{Verse 2}
Do what you need to feel alive
The hour is late, the sun is low, you know?
Cry to your maker, make amends
Laugh like a demon in the face of death

{Refrain}
Mind if I get this off my chest now?

{Instrumental}

{Verse 3}
Do what you need to feel alive
Say yes to love, and forgive everyone
Come on, and we will say goodbye
Won't you lift me 'fore you die

{Verse 4}
Do what you need to feel alive
The hour is late, the sun is low, you know?
Dancе like a fire in the rain
Embaracе yourself in your favorite way

{Verse 5}
We're here to live, not to survive
The light we lifted through the deepest pain
Cry to your maker, make amends
Laugh like a demon in the face of death

{Refrain}
Mind if I get this off my chest now?

{Instrumental Outro}
