Alive - Pearl Jam

Son, she said, Have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy was nothin' but a . . .
While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen,
Your real daddy was dyin', sSorry you didn't see him
But I'm glad we talked . . .

I . . . I'm still alive
I . . . I'm still alive
I . . . I'm still alive

She walks slowly across a young man's room
She said, I'm ready . . . for you
I can't remember anything to this very day
'Cept the look, the look . . .
Oh, you know where, now I can't see, I just stare . . .

I . . . I'm still alive
I . . . I'm still alive
I . . . I'm still alive
I . . . I'm still alive

Is something wrong, she said
Of course there is, you're still alive, she said
Oh, and do I deserve to be?
Is that the question?
And if so . . . if so . . .
Who answers? . . . Who answers?

I . . . I'm still alive
I . . . I'm still alive
I . . . I'm still alive
I . . . I'm still alive
