[Verse]
I'm waiting at your bedside
I'm waiting for a sign
I never sleep, "Bleep bleep"
Means I'm contented; I'll be fine

I know it's been a year now
I know it could be five
I know what doctors recommend
I'll keep you alive

[Chorus] x2
I'll keep you alive
I'll keep you alive
No matter what it takes, I'll wait
I'll keep you alive

[Verse]
Chose a liver from a preacher
Had that crooked jaw reshaped
This heart was shipped from Zanzibar
Those arteries have been scraped

When it's over you'll be happy
Being born a second time
Don't care what the neighbours say
We'll keep you alive
[Chorus] x2

[Verse]
If you could only answer me
I know you'd give a nod
Keep that little white light blinking
No I am not playing God

It's the Lord above who pulls the strings
He does not pull the plug
I remain his humble servant
Fingers double-crossed for luck

[Chorus] x4

We'll keep you alive
