Amy Aka Spent Gladiator 1 Lyrics - Transcendental Youth - Mountain Goats

Do every stupid thing that makes you feel alive 

Do every stupid thing to try to drive the dark away 

Let people call you crazy for the choices that you make 

Climb limits past the limits, jump in front of trains all day 

And stay alive 

Just stay alive 

Play with matches if you think you need to play with matches 

Seek out the hidden places where the fire burns hot and bright 

Find where the heat's unbearable and stay there if you have to 

Don't hurt anybody on your way up to the light 

And stay alive 

Just stay alive 

People might laugh at your tattoos 

When they do get new ones in completely garish hues 

I hide down in my corner because I like my corner 

I am happy where the vermin play 

Make up magic spells 

We wear them like protective shells 

Land-mines on the battlefield 

Find the one safe way 

And stay alive 

Just stay alive 

Just stay alive
