Paul Williams - Still Alive lyrics

I don't know you in those clothes I don't know you with that hair Two dimensional reflection Unforgiving unaware Part time dreamer Would be player You thought fame could outrun fear Something clearly terrified you Did you choose to disappear? Guess again Guess again You made friends And some still ask about you Now and then Well you sang a pencil promise That you thought you might erase Left a fault line on your future Someday heartache you must face Earned a black belt in disaster End up acting like a jerk It's a fact of life, your final act Is gonna need some work Where've you been? Where've you been? Learning lessons on the road to hell And back again And someone asked me once Where do we go when we arrive If you're lucky, when its' over The dreamer's still alive A blessed mystery For sweeter souls did not survive But if you're lucky, when it's done Somewhere deep inside The dreamer's still alive Once reality's your roommate And the truth stands at your door All your records have been broken Trophies won't shine anymore New beginnings are the challenge But you don't know where to start Unimagined gifts are waiting Love will find your grateful heart Then again Once again You will come to know the simple man you've always been And someone asked me once Where do we go when we arrive If you're lucky, when it's over The dreamer's still alive A blessed mystery For sweeter souls did not survive But if you're lucky, when it's done Somewhere deep inside The dreamers still alive The anger will be gone And the cynic will move on And, if you're lucky
