Weighed down by life
I take the elevator to the top floor of my building
It's an ugly sight, but that's all right
Stuck here in the kitchen
It's not that I'm stupid
It's not that I'm not
But it doesn't take a genius to connect the dots

Can you look at me and say
Can you look at me and say
Can you look at me and say
It's good to be alive

I've been up all night walking the ceiling
Beyond the pale, such a glorious feeling
If it's all the same to you, I'll walk some more
'Cause I haven't seen nothin' to come down for

Can you look at me and say
Can you look at me and say
Can you look at me and say
It's good to be alive

I dreamed I saw you dead
And I never said how much I love you
Let me say it now
Let me say it now
Let me say it now
Let me say it now

Sing na-na-na, sing hey-hey-hey
Put your hands together any old way
Do it two by two and two by four
When we get to Ellis Island we'll close the door

Can you look at me and say
Can you look at me and say
Can you look at me and say
It's good to be alive

Can you look at me and say
Can you look at me and say
Can you look at me and say
It's good to be alive

It's good to be alive (Can you look at me and say)
It's good to be alive (Can you look at me and say)
It's good to be alive (Can you look at me and say)
It's good to be alive
