So in order that you look your bestnYou save your money for a funeral dressnSkipped your dinner when you got the newsnMaybe now you can afford the shoesnYou're alivenEach and every day you're alivenCounting every second you're alivenKnowing it'll never come againnYou've never run so far from anywherenClutched the rail but never left the stairsnScars are hidden by a plastic ringnComing home may be the hardest thingnYou're alivenEach and every day you're alivenCounting every second you're alivenKnowing it'll never come again.nYou're feeling poorly but it's just as wellnYou love the fabric but you hate the smellnSo in order that you look your bestnYou save your money for a funeral dressnYou're alivenEach and every day you're alivenCounting every second you're alivenKnowing it'll never come again.
