lyrics

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Wake up every morning feeling pretty much the same
Lie until the sunlight’s streaming through the room again
And I walk down the hall and step out through the door to the day
And I say

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Moving through the people as the city comes alive
Crawling down the underground and out the other side
And I climb up the stairs, and I’m finally there on my way
And I say

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

And when the sun shines
And when the grass grows
And under blue skies
And when the breeze blows
That’s when I feel
That I’m alive
Why I believe
That I’m alive
That’s how I know
That I’m alive
I’ve come alive

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

And when the rain falls
And when the air’s cold
And when the ghosts call
And when the mist’s low
And in the chill wind
And when my eyes freeze
And when no birds sing
And in the bare trees
And through the long nights
And through the dark days
And in the half light
And when the sky’s grey
And in the full moon
And in the wild storm
It’s going to come soon
We’re going to be warm

Get home every evening, feeling nearly half asleep
The days are long and heavy and there’s music through the street
And I lie on the wall as the light slowly falls from the day
And I say

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

And when the sun shines
And when the grass grows
And under blue skies
And when the breeze blows
That’s when I feel
That I’m alive
Why I believe
That I’m alive
That’s how I know
That I’m alive
I’ve come alive

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
