We used to live like strangers to the sun
We used to get unconscious just for fun
Nineteen and immortal would you believe?
The worst that I could get, the best to be.
Now I have my dreams but I can't sleep
From the fourteenth floor I landed on my feet
Never a thing that I wouldn't try
I'm just glad I made it out alive.
Tell me why Ben jumped the Golden Gate
Fifteen years ago, a big mistake
A victim of a city's social ills
We all hide addiction with different skills
I'm not preachin' no cosmic jive
I'm just glad I made it out alive
Made it out alive.
Now I have my dreams but I can't sleep
From the fourteenth floor I landed on my feet
I'm not preachin' no cosmic jive
I'm just glad I made it out alive.
