Lyrics
When I joined the Beatles I wasn't afraid of them
We played CitiField we played Shea stadium
We dropped a bomb of love uranium
Flickering on and on and off through time circadian
White flags waving from the Plaza Hotel
Teenagers screaming in a cloud of seagull
My head was bleeding someone was ringing a bell
Pick up that Hoffner tell me how it feels

Do you know you're alive when you tuck me in for the night 
Do you know, do you know you're alive
Do you know you're alive when you turn and kiss me goodbye
Do you know, do you know you're alive

Mushrooms blistered the green green grasses
Wherever we wandered the flowers were laughing
We changed to color we grew mustaches
Smothered each other in ketchup and day glow molasses

Do you know you're alive when you tuck me in for the night 
Do you know, do you know you're alive
Do you know you're alive when you turn and kiss me goodbye
Do you know, do you know you're alive

In the stillness of dust colliding with dust 
Do your memories tally with the facts and the fuss 
Red foam clown nose titanium casket 
Gray suits no collar ready for action 

Do you know you're alive when you turn and kiss me goodbye 
Do you know, do you know you're alive
Do you know you're alive when the vultures pick from your eyes 
Do you know? 

We are forever, and that's the way it's always been
