Caretakers of the streets
Virgins with tainted saviours
Hippies hustling chump change
Don't know the days from the night

Dead and alive ain't breathing I'm
Dead and alive feeling so damn
Dead and alive

Being a servant by day
Smiling and stroking my way
I get my lovin' outta magazines
But keep your hands offa me

Dead and alive ain't breathing I'm
Dead and alive feeling so damn
Dead and alive

Murder takes a city's night
Feeding it's wanton flame
Come excite the streets with me
But don'tcha ask my name

Dead and alive ain't breathing I'm
Dead and alive feeling so damn
Dead and alive
