LYRICS:
you’re a white knigh ti’m a dark horse oh galahad, i want to be yours

i’ll meet you out behind the oxen’s shed and recite thirteen poems running through my head

somebody told me you were pure of blood and oxygen
that your good knife can cut through anything

but i’m alive, I’m alive, i’m alive, i’m alive

you got a gold heart i got a black one baby i sting like a scorpion so if you hear a rustle in the old oak treesan ancient voice hymn humming, hmmm it’s me.

rumor has it you are stronger than 100 men
but it’s my word against tennyson’s.

and I’m alive

you muse on joy that will not cease
pure spaces clothed in living dreams
and lilies of eternal peace

i’ll get over it when the morning comes by then you’ll be slouching towards avalon

ride on, the prize is near it’s sitting right behind you singing in your ear

and still you’re looking out into a cerulean sea
where up above the gulls like grails are free

and i’m alive
