Just before the day breaks  in the wee hours of the morning  I hear the cats cry  my inner vision  is a babyface yawning  I guess it's always like that  when we're alive.  Yes! We are alive  Don't forget  we are alive.  N.Y. cat wrote back  after 3 years lack of contact  just to state  that she was still kicking  sure as hell  there are bumps in the road  but time was still ticking  it's like that, when we're alive.  "Chorus"  Is the joke still clean  when it's your own face  up on the screen?  I can't explain the dream  but we laugh in our sleep  when we're alive.  "Chorus"  I'm your fool at nite  the mad clown in the lite  if I'm the pilot  will you trust the flight?  will you crawl off and die  or will you stay and be alive?  "Chorus"
