Queen - Keep Yourself Alive lyrics

Taking off

I was told a million times of
All the troubles in my way
Mind you grow a little wiser
Little better every day
But if I crossed a million rivers
And I rode a million miles
Then I'd still be where I started
Bread and butter for a smile
Well, I sold a million mirrors in
A shop in Alley Way
But I never saw my face in any window any day
Now they say your folks are telling you
"Be a superstar" but I tell you
Just be satisfied and stay
Right where you are

Keep yourself alive
(yeah) , keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and-a money, honey
You'll survive

Well, I've loved a million women
In a belladonic haze
And I ate a million dinners brought
To me on silver trays
Give me everything I need to feed
My body and my soul
And I'll grow a little bigger
Maybe that can be my goal
I was told a million times of
All the people in my way
How I had to keep on trying
And get better every day
But if I crossed a million rivers
And I rode a million miles
Then I'd still be where I started
Same as when I started

Keep yourself alive
(Come on) , keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and-a money, honey
You'll survive (shake)

(Ow)

Keep yourself alive
(whoa) , keep yourself alive
Oh, take you all your time and-a
Money to keep me satisfied

Do you think you're better every day?
No, I just think I'm two
Steps nearer to my grave

Keep yourself alive
(come on) , keep yourself alive
You take your time and take my money
Keep yourself alive keep yourself alive
(come on) , keep yourself alive
All you people, keep yourself alive

Keep yourself alive
(come on, come on) , keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and-a
Money to keep me satisfied
Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
All you people, keep yourself alive

Take you all your time and money, honey
You will survive
Keep you satisfied, keep yourself alive
