Ah-ah
Ah-ah

A single step at 6 AM
I'm foggy on the Hudson
Thorns of dawn, her baby cryin'
From stormy ends of London
Words unfold, held like it's gold
Sweet blindness in her eyes
Stone souls perform at Central Park
In masks of her disguise

The signs of the times
It's a poison pen they're pushing
Lay your head to rest upon
The [velvet upper?] cushions
Like Virginia to the lighthouse
See the songbirds in their cages
The rose of Laura Nyro
Shed it venoms on the pages

Ah-ah
Alive's coming
Ah-ah
Alive's coming

Ticking fox, the orthodox
Tell me life's common
Italian girls in market square
Where catholic feels [?]
[?] on life I am
Christmas Eve is melting
[?] on Monterrey
Down Gibson street, they yelling

The signs of the times
It's a poison pen they're pushing
Lay your head to rest upon
The [velvet upper?] cushions
Like Virginia to the lighthouse
See the songbirds in their cages
The rose of Laura Nyro
Shed it venoms on the pages

Ah-ah
Alive's coming
Alive's coming
Ah-ah
Alive's coming

A single step at 6 AM
I'm foggy on the Hudson
Thorns of dawn
Her baby cryin'
From stormy ends of London
Words unfold, held like it's gold
Sweet blindness in her eyes
Stone souls perform at Central Park
In masks of her disguise

The signs of the times
It's a poison pen they're pushing
Lay your head to rest upon
The [velvet upper?] cushions
Like Virginia to the lighthouse
See the songbirds in their cages
The rose of Laura Nyro
Shed it venoms on the pages
The rose of Laura Nyro
Shed it venoms on the pages

Ah-ah
Alive's coming
Ah-ah
Alive's coming
Alive's coming
Ah-ah
You better hold your heart out, oh, no, no, no
Alive's coming
Alive's coming
Alive's, oh, alive's coming
Alive's coming, yeah
Alive's coming
Alive's coming, yeah, yeah, yeah
Alive's coming
Alive's coming, oh
Amen
Alive's coming
Alive's coming
Amen
I said alive's, alive's
Alive's coming
You better hold your heart out
Hold your heart out
Alive's coming, yeah
