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
do what you need to feel alive
The hour is late the sun is low you know
Cry till your makeup make a mess
laugh like a demon in the face of death
Mind if I get this off my chest now

Do what you need to feel alive
say yes to love and forgive everyone
come morning we will say goodbye
won’t you live before you die
Do what you need to feel alive the hour is late the sun is low you know
dance like a fire in the rain
embarrass yourself in your favorite way
We’re here to live not to survive
the light will enter through the deepest pain
Cry till your make up make a mess
laugh like a demon in the face of death
Mind if i get this off my chest now
