well i'm not dead yet
no, i haven't gone away
for some strange reason I'm still around
and i might have something to say
course, i may not, but that's ok
i'll just keep singing anyway
i suppose you are wondering why i'm standing here
instead of tossing back a few
cause you're all here, and I'm plugged in
and it's starting to feel good to you

maybe i'll tell you about my sister
and the boyfriend she used to have
and how she left him for another
and the family is quite glad
it's sort of like a movie I saw when I was twelve
well, ok it is nothing like the movie at all
oh, did you want to hear more about my sister?
I've moved on, so deal with it
cause you're still here, and I'm plugged in
and it's starting to feel good to you

some complex tale of love and hate
another saturday night without a single date
a dog who crying cause he's lost his damn bone
and a girl on the road cause she can't go home
what sort of images would you like to see?
i'll just play my guitar and paint them for you
it's like free association, but I get paid handsomely
if it weren't for this, I'd have nothing else to do
you're still here? well, i'm plugged in
and it's starting to feel good to you
