He's not falling, simply waiting   Fading at the edges   Sitting back, thinking that   There's little point in moving      He smiles, says his stars are friendly   Anything can be done   "Shall we get very drunk?" He says, "I stay alive   It's the best thing, the only thing I know"      She's not talking, easy dreaming   All that life away   She gets laughing, missed the light   No regrets today      She looks up, another sunset   "Was it very very good?"   "Shall we get really high?", She says, "I stay alive   It's the best thing, the only thing I know"      She says, "Hold me, hold me hard   Hold me, hold me harder   Stop me thinking about myself   Stop me hoping for more than I am"      She says, "Why do I want more than good looks?   Why do I want more than great books?   Is that all there is?" She smiles and stays alive   It's the best thing, the only thing she knows      They're together   Simply dancing all the nights away   There's the window   Let's wait up for this precious dawn      He smiles, tells her she looks lovely   Anything can be done, she looks up and laughs   He says "I stay alive   It's the best thing, the only thing I can give you"      I was brought up with higher expectations   I was brought up that hell's a hippies way to go   He says, "Hold me"
