(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
