[Verse 1]
Do what you need to feel alive
Dance round naked in the backyard
Drop the needle, play the 45
Smile like a child in the graveyard

[Verse 2]
Do what you need to feel alive
The hour is late, the sun is low, you know?
Cry to your maker, make amends
Laugh like a demon in the face of death

[Refrain]
Mind if I get this off my chest now?

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Do what you need to feel alive
Say yes to love, and forgive everyone
Come on, and we will say goodbye
Won't you lift me 'fore you die

[Verse 4]
Do what you need to feel alive
The hour is late, the sun is low, you know?
Dancе like a fire in the rain
Embaracе yourself in your favorite way
[Verse 5]
We're here to live, not to survive
The light we lifted through the deepest pain
Cry to your maker, make amends
Laugh like a demon in the face of death

[Refrain]
Mind if I get this off my chest now?

[Instrumental Outro]
