While I'm Still Alive

While I'm Still Alive - Ultravox!

Playing the game

With the chips on my shoulder

Checking in the mirror

As my coffee cup gets colder

Stagger and swagger

Combing my hair

If tomorrow's not there

Then at least today's all mine

While I'm still alive

While I'm still alive

While I'm still alive

Strutting my stuff

I'm blagging the damage

From coupling with headlines

I was suckled on salvage

The fighting's exciting

The age is dramatic

I'm crackling with static

Just jiving to survive

While I'm still alive

While I'm still alive

While I'm still alive

Take a stroll down the side roads

I know you want to

A shock in the dark can be good for your heart

Oh yeah

While I'm still alive

While I'm still alive

While I'm still alive

While I'm still alive

Scuffling along

On the crest of a wave

Laughing and grafting

Or jerking and working

Striking a match

Where life is a gas

I need the flash

To make it all worthwhile

While I'm still alive

While I'm still alive

While I'm still alive
