Keep Yourself Alive

Lyrics

[Intro: Freddie Mercury] (Taking off) [Verse 1: Freddie Mercury] 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 shopping alleyway 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 [Chorus: Freddie Mercury] Keep yourself alive, yeah, keep yourself alive Take you all your time and-a money, honey, you'll survive [Verse 2: Freddie Mercury] 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 everythin' 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 tryin' 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 [Chorus: Freddie Mercury] Keep yourself alive, come on, keep yourself alive Take you all your time and-a money, honey, you'll survive (shake) [Drum Solo] [Interlude: Freddie Mercury] (Ow!) [Guitar Solo] [Chorus: Freddie Mercury] Keep yourself alive, whoa, keep yourself alive Oh, take you all your time and-a money to keep me satisfied [Bridge: Roger Taylor & Brian May] Do you think you're better every day? No, I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave [Chorus: Freddie Mercury] 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 [Outro: Freddie Mercury] Take you all your time and money, honey, you will survive Keep you satisfied, keep yourself alive…
