Intro

Verse

What's it like there outside

 With the living, with the living

Here I've found a place that I can hide

 From the living, from the living

Chorus

 Cause I don't care to stay with the living

Verse

Oh, the bottle has been to me

My closest friend, my worst enemy

Oh, fickle I walked a fine line

Squandered it all and wasted my time

Chorus

 And I don't stand a chance among the living

Verse

For the lovers I've gambled and lost

Count my mistakes whatever the cost

I'll go off, I'll make myself scarce

Oh, come tomorrow You won't find me here

Chorus

 Because I don't care to stay with the living

 I don't think I'll remain with the living

Solo

 And I don't care to stay with the living

 No, I don't care to stay
