Died for never-ending love
For a vindictive god
For the hand I held
And the inner peace I sought
Died for secrets that I kept
I died from the words you said
Sometimes I'm dying for another cigarette
But...
Now is the time
To be alive
To be alive
Now is the time
To be alive
To be alive
I fell by the hands of love
Died for reasons I forgot
For the songs I wrote
For beauty you are dreaming of
Died for a stranger in my bed
With a bullet in my head
For a land that betrayed
Always dying to get laid
But...
Now is the time
To be alive
To be alive
Now is the time
To be alive
To be alive
I would even die for you
I would if you asked me to
But now is not the time
Now is the time
To be alive
To be alive
Now is the time
To be alive
To be alive
