I don't want you to worry, I'm okay   Just didn't want you seeing me this way   We tried to talk about it but we didn't understand   We never really talked much anyway      I finally found a place to call my own   A place where all good sinners can get stoned   I'll keep my holy vision, you keep your stupid pride   You said I couldn't make it on my own      But I'm not dead, I'm in Pittsburgh   And now I can't get out of town   I'm not dead, I'm in Pittsburgh   They've got me all strung, come cut me down      Like the weeds in all the cracks   All my memories come back   Like some Allegheny smack in the face      It's all just one big monkey house to me   Just living ain't the same as being free   Don't stop and think about it, it'll only make you sad   Come put me out of my misery      'Cause I'm not dead, I'm in Pittsburgh   Where a man can lose his mind   I'm not dead, I'm in Pittsburgh   They've got me suited up for crazy time      I'm not dead, I'm in Pittsburgh   And now I can't get out of town   Hey, I'm not dead, I'm in Pittsburgh
