(I'm Gonna Start) Living Again If It Kills Me

(album: Twangin… - 1981)

It's time I got up and out of this 5th floor prison
And went and did something else
I've been sick of everything for so long
That now I'm even sick of myself

I'm going to call up some old friends I used to know
Although they never come around much now
But I can't blame them who wants to listen to
Me talk about you for hours

I'm going to start living again if it kills me
If it's the very last thing I do
I'm going to make a splash and that's so sure
And purge myself from you

I blew the dust of my little black book and called Sonya
'Cause she was always good for a smile
But when I whispered sweet nothings into her phone
They meant sweet nothing to her

Then I tried Sally & Sue with nothing better to do
But they were turning tricks out at Disney world
In desperation I called Mona
But her mom said she was out with her girls

I'm going to start living again if it kills me
If it's the very last thing I do
I'm going to make a splash and that's so sure
And purge myself from you

Sunday or Monday, I can't remember
I never know what day it is
Tuesday, Wednesday all I have are
Blue days run in to each other

I'm going to start living again if it kills me
If it's the very last thing I do
I'm going to make a splash and that's so sure
And purge myself from you

I'm going to start living again if it kills me
If it's the very last thing I do
I'm going to make a splash and that's so sure
And purge myself from you

I'm going to start living again if it kills me
If it's the very last thing I do
