Summary: Glad You're Alive (TREXEL) When I first met you, you were a baby I looked at you and I thought maybe Maybe you're the one who’ll stay alive Perhaps you’ll be the one to survive I’ve been hurt before, I know it’s true But perhaps it will be different with you Look at you so weak and stupid And we both know that the truth is Without me you’d be dead already Remember the trial you were like “Trexel help me” Bravely I stood and defended your honour If it were just you and Hartro, you'd be a goner I’ve proved my worth ten times over A talent as rare as a forty-leaf clover It’s about time you admitted my value And say it out loud, “Trexel Thank you!” You should really thank me for my kindness and My protection Your part of a very small selection Of people with whom I’ve really tried I’d be sorry if you died, I'm glad you're alive (TREXEL + CHORUS) You are, still alive You are, still alive You are, still alive You are, still alive (DAVID) I first met you, I was a baby I looked at you and I thought maybe Maybe he’ll help me in this life Protect from dangers trouble and strife I immediately discovered this wasn’t the case You're the most dangerous member of the human race An encyclopaedia of drunken lies The worst example of ‘one of the guys’ Without you things would be so much better I remember the trial; it was like having a fetter You wandered round yelling things almost at random And the trail only happened because of your tantrum! You’ve proved your selfishness ten times over An ego as large as a giant supernova It’s about time you admitted your folies and say it out loud “David, I'm sorry!” (TREXEL) You should really thank me for my kindness and My protection (DAVID: You weren't even listening were you? TREXEL: Yeah!) You’re one of the few with whom I've had a connection (DAVID: Not even slightly) I’d be sorry if you died, I'm glad you're alive (TREXEL + CHORUS) You are, still alive You are, still alive You are, still alive You are, still alive DAVID (Background During Final Chorus): So, I’m just gonna, So, I’m just gonna, I'm just gonna go, I’m just gonna’ go ‘cause you're not even listening to me, you not, you never listen to me, you’re not listening now, you never will, I, I might as well leave, just, just, I’m going, right, bye, bye forever, maybe, tomorrow probably, but bye, right now, just, I’m off!
