Lost my house, lost my love
Swept away in a raging flood
I... I'm still alive

I believe God is testing me,
But I can't take what the Lord decrees
I... I'm still alive

On a Monday life was swell,
By Wednesday I'm in Hell
But I'm still alive

Bankers came to move me on
So strapped for cash, I had to sell this song
I... I'm still alive
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/j/james/still+alive_20319088.html ]
Doctor told me I've a terrible disease
The dog's run off and the cat's got fleas
I... I'm still alive

On a Monday life was swell
By Wednesday I'm in Hell
But I'm still alive

By the Thursday life was sad
By Good Friday life's too bad
But I'm still alive

Out the window, four vultures on a tree
Licking their beaks and they're talking about me
I... I'm still alive
