[Verse 1]
"Son," she said, "have I got a little story for you
Oh, what you thought was your daddy was nothing but a-
While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen
Oh your real father was dyin', sorry you didn't see him
But I'm glad we talked"
[Chorus]
Oh, I, oh I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh I'm still alive
Hey, oh, woah-oh
[Verse 2]
While she walks slowly across a young man's room
She said, "I'm ready for you"
Why I can't remember anything to this very day
'Cept the look, the look, uh
Oh, you know where
Now I can't see I just stare
[Chorus]
I, I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh I'm still alive, yeah
Ooh yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, oh, yeah
[Verse 3]
"Is something wrong", she said, of course there is
"You're still alive," she said, oh, but do I deserve to be?
And Is that the question? No
And if so, if so who answers?
Who answers?
[Chorus]
I, oh I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh I'm still alive
Yeah, I, oh I'm still alive
Yeah, I
Ooh, I'm still alive!
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!
[Guitar Solo with Vocalization]
Ooh-ooh, yeah
Ooh-ooh, yeah
Ooh-ohh, yeah, yeah yeah yeah
[Spoken Word: Eddie Vedder]
Matt Cam!
Hey, I'll introduce all my fellas. I'll introduce Mike McCready. You know him. I'll introduce Jeff Ament, yeah!
Boom Gaspar! Stone Gossard! Call me Ed! Matt Cameron!
It all, it all, hopefully in some way - and I don't always drink as much as I did today, but I'm excited. I mean, there's coffee, and then there's wine, and then there's just wine. We hope we've been good ambassadors for this town, as we've travelled around. And you know, not all groups can be proud of their heritage, but we hope we can live up to the legend of all the bands before us, in front of us. Just hold our own ground. And if you can see what we see, and maybe you do, but all the different flags in all different countries, this happens on a nightly basis. Even in Canada, they somehow made it across the border. It's a geography lesson every night with all these flags. We've just gotta tell ya, ya know, Brazil, all these people coming to see Seattle. I would think that this vision of all the flags and all these people here to listen to some music - taking us out of the equation - whatever occurred to have this happen, somebody like Nelson Mandela would be proud. And speaking of Nelson Mandela, he was a huge Mudhoney fan. And ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce to the stage, Mr. Mark Arm and Mr. Steve Turner! C'mon out! Oh, that's not enough. We've got Mark and Steve. Oh, Kim Thayll. How about that?
Mark, I tend to keep time by like how much wine is the glass. But I I've kinda lost - I don't know what time it is
[Spoken Word: Mark Arm]
I have no idea what time it is. But, wait a second, let me think. Ladies and Gentlemen of Seattle, Washington, it's time to kick up the jams motherfuckers!
