NATALIE MERCHANT LYRICS - The Living

"The Living"



What's it like there outside

With the living?

From this broken down place

Where I hide

From the living

From the living



Cause I don't care to stay

With the living



O, the bottle has been to me

My closest friend and

My worst enemy

Afraid that I've walked a fine line

Squandered it all

And wasted my time



And I don't stand a chance

Among the living



All the lovers I've gambled and lost

Count my mistakes

Whatever the cost

I'll go off, I'll make myself scarce

Come tomorrow

You won't find me here



Cause I don't care to stay

Among the living



No, I don't think I'll remain
