Lyrics But Alive - Lauren Bacall

But Alive

I feel groggy and weary and tragic
Punchy and bleary and fresh out of magic
But alive, but alive, but alive!
I feel twitchy and bitchy and manic
Calm and collected and choking with panic
But alive, but alive, but alive!
I’m a thousand different people
Every single one is real
I’ve a million different feelings
OK, but at least I feel!
And I feel rotten, yet covered with roses
Younger than springtime and older than Moses
Frisky as a lamb…
Ah la la
Lazy as a clam…
Ah la la
Crazy, but I am
Alive
She’s here!
Oh god, ah la la la la
She’s here!
Ah la la la la la
Ow! Ow!
La la la la la
Eek eek eek ow!
Ow! Ow!
And I feel wicked and wacky and mellow
Firm as Gibraltar and shaky as Jello
But alive, but alive, but alive!
I feel half Tijuana, half Boston
Partly Jane Fonda and partly Jane Austen
But alive, that’s the thing! But alive!
This kaleidoscope of feelings
Whirls around inside my brain
I admit I’m slightly cuckoo
But it’s dull to be too sane!
And I feel brilliant and brash and bombastic
Limp as a puppet and simply fantastic
But alive, but alive, but alive!
She’s here!
My dear, can you believe it?
She’s here!
Oh god, I can’t believe it!
She’s here
And just to prove we do believe
Woo!
Ah la la la la la la la la
Ah la la la la la la la la
Ah la la la la la la la
This kaleidoscope of feelings
Whirls around inside my brain
I admit I’m slightly cuckoo
But it’s dull to be too sane!
And I feel brilliant!
Bombastic!
Super!
Fantastic!
Alive!
Margo!
Alive!
Margo!
Alive!
Margo!
