Lost my house, lost my love

Swept away in a raging flood 

I... I'm still alive



I believe God is testing me,

But I can't take what the Lord decrees

I... I'm still alive



On a Monday life was swell,

By Wednesday I'm in Hell

But I'm still alive



Bankers came to move me on

So strapped for cash, I had to sell this song

I... I'm still alive



Doctor told me I've a terrible disease

The dog's run off and the cat's got fleas

I... I'm still alive



On a Monday life was swell

By Wednesday I'm in Hell

But I'm still alive



By the Thursday life was sad

By Good Friday life's too bad

But I'm still alive



Out the window, four vultures on a tree

Licking their beaks and they're talking about me

I... I'm still alive
