SIDEWALKS NEAT

JUST LOST HIS WIFE
AND IF IT WASN'T
FOR THE MUSIC
HE COULDN'T GET
ON WITH HIS LIFE

MY HEARTSTRINGS
CURLS MY TOES UP
IN MY SHOES
AND SHE KNOWS
WHAT I'M AFTER
I CHASE MY DREAMS
WITH ALL MY MIGHT
SHE SAYS YOU
SHOULDN'T BE
SO ANXIOUS
AND DEEP DOWN
I KNOW SHE'S RIGHT
WELL SHE KNOWS
WHAT I KNOW
IT'S NOT ALL THAT
HARD TO SURVIVE
YOU TAKE THE GOOD
AND THE BAD
AND THE TIME
IN BETWEEN
IT LETS US KNOW
WE'RE ALIVE

STEP RIGHT INTO
THE FRONT CAR

NO SAFETY BAR
RAISE YOUR VOICES
UP WITH LAUGHTER

WITH ONE BIG SIGH
CONSECRATED
IN THE WONDER

WELL NOW NORMAN
HE PLAYS MUSIC
BUT ONLY
IN MY DREAMS
SHOWS ME
ALL THE BEAUTY
SOULFUL MUSIC BRINGS
BUT SOMETIMES
HE'S A SPECTRE
AND I WAKE UP
CLENCHED WITH A FEAR
BUT LESSON
GOOD OR BAD
HE ALWAYS
KEEPS ME CLEAR
YOU KNOW
WHAT I KNOW
IT'S NOT ALL THAT
HARD TO SURVIVE
YOU TAKE THE GOOD
AND THE BAD
AND THE TIME
IN BETWEEN
IT LETS US KNOW
WE'RE ALIVE
WE'RE ALIVE

WE'RE ALIVE
WE'RE ALIVE
WE'RE ALIVE
WE'RE ALIVE
WE'RE ALIVE YEAH
