Lyric When We re Alive

Just before the day breaks
in the wee hours of the morning
I hear the cats cry
my inner vision
is a babyface yawning
I guess it s always like that
when we re alive.
Yes! We are alive
Don t forget
we are alive.
N.Y. cat wrote back
after 3 years lack of contact
just to state
that she was still kicking
sure as hell
there are bumps in the road
but time was still ticking
it s like that, when we re alive.
"Chorus"
Is the joke still clean
when it s your own face
up on the screen?
I can t explain the dream
but we laugh in our sleep
when we re alive.
"Chorus"
I m your fool at nite
the mad clown in the lite
if I m the pilot
will you trust the flight?
will you crawl off and die
or will you stay and be alive?
"Chorus"
