about

This song poses the question, “What does it feel like to be alive?” What does feeling alive feel like? Perhaps it’s a mid life crisis song. What wakes us up? If you are numb inside, what can you do to rejuvenate? Do you do something each day that makes you a little uncomfortable?

lyrics

Living on a boat,
Living on the road,
Living on an airplane,
Packing for a month,
packing for a year, an overnight stay.

Looking for the light,
Looking for the glam,
Looking for the postcards sent,
Waiting for a break,
Climbing up a ladder
before it's bent.

Making deals with friends,
Making deals with foe,
Making deals with lovers,
Drink another round,
Find another town
to rediscover.

No need to sleep,
Who needs to sleep
when life will pass you by,
Stay awake,
The time is now,
Work hard somehow.

So go....What do you do to feel alive? So go...

Vegas calling,
Gamblers brawling,
Date a showgirl,
New York City styles,
Oozing fashion,
Miles and miles of pin curls.

Lying in my bed,
Pounding in my head,
The music's way too loud.

Can't head back now,
Pay bills somehow,
Make parents proud.

Break another heart,
Make a brand new start,
Have a midlife crisis,

Naked in the rain,
Jump out of a plane,
Take a subway train,

Make a bucket list
of things you've missed
Then get it started,

Gassing up the car,
Bringing the guitar.

So go...What do you do to feel alive? So go...
