Good To Be Alive Lyrics

(Slash/Gilby Clarke/Eric Dover)
 
 You told me you're an orphan
 the same old standard line
 Then when we moved in together
 All you did was moan and cry
 Talkin' like you'd make it
 On life's big movie screen
 I had to say I loved you
 Just to try and keep the peace
 
 Hustler
 What are you doin' with your time
 I'm slow to catch on
 But I think you wasted mine
 
 You're running low tonight
 Jack up and get it right
 You know you're going down
 Ain't it good to be alive
 
 I couldn't make excuses about
 everything you said
 You wanna show your bruises
 Let's throw a party for the band
 Now here they come a dancin'
 Like the powder to your nose
 Why don't you cut your head off 
 Spite your face let's do the show
 
 Hustler
 What are you doin' with your time
 I'm slow catchin' on
 But I think you wasted mine
 Hustler
 
 You're running low tonight
 The station's right close by
 Pack up your car and drive
 Ain't it good to be alive
 
 Tearing of the membrane
 Of the first new thing in years
 Found a nagging consolation
 In a glass of Everclear
 And the ugly truth has raped you
 They're saying you're a lousy lay
 But isn't everything that way
 
 Ain't it good to be alive
 So good to be alive
