If you've got time, I got news for you
I can't dance no Boogaloo
Longing for a time
When I could drink my wine
I'm barely alive
Holy Moses, what's wrong with me
I've got a fever of a hundred and three
Working overtime
Trying to make a dime
I'm barely alive
Barely alive
Ain't got no time for rock 'n' roll
Barely alive
I'm at my wits end
Feeling spent
I'm barely alive
Looking for a woman
That could be my muse
Waiting for a savior
With my head in a noose
I'm twenty-five,
Can't take no jive
I'm barely alive
I know I was meant to do something great
Playing and singing should've been my fate
But I'm so tired, though still inspired
I'm barely alive
Barely alive
Got no shoulder to lean on
I still thrive
Hanging by a thread
Feeling almost dead
I'm barely alive
Barely alive
Got no shoulder to lean on
I still thrive
Hanging by a thread
Feeling almost dead
I'm barely alive
