The Living Lyrics

Natalie Merchant

Whats it like there outside
With the living, with the living
Here Ive found a place I can hide
From the living, from the living
Because I dont care to stay with the living
Oh, the bottle has been to me
My closest friend, my worst enemy
For a flavor I walked a fine life
Squandered it all and wasted my time
And I dont stand a chance among the living
For the lovers Ive gambled and lost
Count my mistakes whatever the cost
Ill go off, Ill make myself scarce
Oh, come tomorrow
You wont find me here
Because I dont care to stay with the living
I dont think Ill remain with the living
And I dont care to stay with the living
No, I dont care to stay
