You crashed into the room, said"the world's on fire!"
It wasn't possible for you to be a liar
Since you are the man that I have most admired
I've come to understand your passion and desire
To tell the whole wide world
What you see is real
Help us understand
What it is to be alive
Alive
You came to me one night
You said you are the man
I couldn't help myself
I thought"you're f*cking mad!"
But Jesus Christ himself
Would never understand
The kinds of things you found
Inside of every man
You must've been lonely
No-one heard your cries
You were the one and only
Who had us all in mind
'Cos you were so alive
Alive
You were so alive
Oh alive
Oh Dad
It's sad
It's mad
Alive, alive, alive, alive
You woke me up one morning
I was half asleep
You had been up all night
You swore it was no dream
You couldn't wait to tell me
All that you had seen
Secrets of the universe
That had to be revealed
You must've been so tired
All your life
You must've been so inspired
Just to be alive
'Cos you were so alive
Alive
You were so alive
Alive
Oh Dad
It's sad
It's mad
