While I'm Still Alive - LYRICS
======================

This beeping machine suddenly broke in half
Low quality just wasn't built to last
I know why you returned
it's not my first rodeo
come take what you want
i'm your convenience store
all that and more

You're too old for all this climbing
on a steel horse you've been riding
there will be no more high fivin'
while I'm still alive

Wheels on the bus keep going round and round
i will pretend that I'm happy now
you carved her name on the side of me
she'll break your heart
this I can guarantee
but I can never leave
I am just a tree
and I don't have any legs

you get a car and you get a car
everyone gets a car
you get a car and you get a car
everyone is getting car
love Oprah
