(chorus)
hillside avenue, jamaica avenue
was the sign i saw when i suddenly thought
your health is your life

why why why was i thinking that

who's gonna pay when the children start crying
you'll never never get away
strange how the air that you're breathing is dying
it's gonna get rough when i get to....

(chorus)

keeps you alive

why why why was i thinking that

when the rich man lies dying in his bed
he'll be thinking of the very words i said
when eh's lying there dying in his bed
he'll be thinking of the very words i said

Repeat!

(chorus)

keeps you alive
