Do what you need to feel alive Dance round naked in the backyard Drop the needle play the 45 Smile like a child in the graveyard Do what you need to feel alive The hour is late the sun is low you know Cry till your makeup make a mess Laugh like a demon in the face of death Mind if I get this off my chest now Do what you need to feel alive Say yes to love and forgive everyone Come morning we will say goodbye Won't you live before you die Do what you need to feel alive The hour is late the sun is low you know Dance like a fire in the rain Embarrass yourself in your favorite way We're here to live not to survive The light will enter through the deepest pain Cry till your make up make a mess Laugh like a demon in the face of death Mind if i get this off my chest now
