Listen up, child, there's one thing I've got to make clear
Yeah I do
You don't see it coming, hear it coming
Acting like you know nothing
About that strange voodoo going on around here
Take me back
To the land of the living
Take me back
Where the sun do shine
Take me back
Things be different
You get it, got it, oooo - you better get it now
CHORUS
Stay alive
Let Your soul rise up from the bottom
Stay alive
Don't let it take you down for the very last time
Stay alive
It don't do you no good looking up from the bottom
Stay alive
Don't let it take you down for the very last time
You talk about lies and pain
Don't do you know good
With your face in the cocaine
Love, hat, watch that mother, she'll bring you down
Like no other I've seen
If you know what I mean
Take me back
Got to take that demon
Take me back
Don't play its fool
Take me back
Things be different
You get it, got it, oooo - you better get it now
CHORUS
No, I ain't seen nothin'
No, I ain't seen nothin'
No, I ain't seen nothin' like you before
CHORUS
CHORUS
Don't let it take you down
