After so many years of playing this wonderful city
Needless to say, this next song is going out
To each and every one of you bastards here tonight, alright
It's a song of friendship, it goes a little bit like this
♪
And don't be shy
I know there's a lot of microphones out there tonight
Only one is mine though, okay
But whenever you feel like it, please, join in
Alright?
If I ever leave this world alive
I'll thank for all this things you did in my life
If I ever leave this world alive
I'll come back down and sit beside your feet tonight
Wherever I am, you'll always be
More than just a memory
If I ever leave this world alive
♪
If I ever leave this world alive
I'll take on all the sadness that I left behind
If I ever leave this world alive
The madness that you feel will soon subside
So, in a word, don't shed a tear
I'll be here when it all gets weird, everybody
If I ever leave this world alive
Mr. Casey
♪
So, when in doubt, just call my name
Just before you go insane
If I ever leave this world
Hey, I may never leave this world
But if I ever leave this world alive
She says, "I'm okay, I'm alright
Though you have gone from my life
You said that it would
Now everything should be alright"
She says, "I'm okay, I'm alright
Though you have gone from my life
You said that it would
Now everything should be alright"
Yeah, it should be alright, people of Los Angeles
It's gonna be alright
