The Ballad of Kim & Thurston

As long as we're alive
Why don't we write some songs
And we can start a band
So we can play our songs

And we will buy a van
And drive to other towns
So we can play our songs
For the people who are there

And maybe if they like us
They will buy our records
And if they buy enough
Then we'll quit our jobs, yeah

And this is the way
This is the way
We're going to live our lives
Because we know we're going to die

As long as we're alive
Why don't we fall in love
And we can have a child
To symbolize our love

And so that when we die
Our love will carry on
In the image of our child
In the body of our songs

And maybe when we're gone
She'll put our records on
And understand our lives
And know why she's there, yeah yeah yeah

And this is the way
This is the way
We're going to live our lives
Because somehow have the drive
The drive, let's drive

As long as we're alive
As long as we're alive
As long as we're alive
As long as we're alive
Let's drive

As long as we're alive
Why don't we write some songs
And we can play our songs
For the people who are there
