Stay Alive Poison

[Verse 1]
Listen up, child, there's one thing I've got to make clear
Yeah, I do
You don't see it coming, hear it coming, acting like you know nothing
'Bout that strange rumor going on around here (hey)

[Pre-Chorus]
Take me back to the land of the living
Take me down where the sun do shine
Take me back, things be different
You get it? Got it? Ooh, better get it now

[Chorus]
Stay alive, let your soul rise up from the bottom
Stay alive, don't let it take you down for the very last time
Stay alive, it don't do you no good looking up from the bottom
Stay alive, don't let it take you down for the very last time

[Verse 2]
You talk about lies and pain
It don't do you no good with your face in the cocaine (hey)
Love, hate, watch that mother
She'll bring you down like no other I've seen
If you know what I mean

[Pre-Chorus]
Take me back, got to face that demon
Take me down, don't play its fool
Take me back, things be different
You get it? Got it? Ooh, better get it now
