Feeling Alright Song Lyrics
[Trailer song]
Seems I've got to have a change of scene
'Cause every, every, every night I have the strangest dream
Imprisoned by the way it could have been
Left here on my own or so it seems
I've got to leave before I start to scream
I heard someone locked the door and threw away the key
Are you feeling alright?
I'm not feeling too good, too good myself
Are you feeling alright? Are you feeling alright?
Alright, I'm not feeling too good, too good myself
Are you feeling alright?
Well boy, you took me, you took me for a ride
And even now I sit and wonder, I wonder why
That when I think of you, I start to cry
I just can't be wasting my time, I gotta keep trying
Gotta stop believing, believing in all your lies
'Cause I got a lot of living to do before I lay down to die
Are you feeling alright? Alright
I'm not feeling too good, too good myself
Are you feeling alright? Alright, are you feeling alright?
I'm not feeling too good, too good myself
Are you feeling alright? Oh yeah
Well, well, well, well
Do it again
Don't get too lost, too lost in all I say
Though at times I really thought that I felt that way
But that was then, now it's today
I just can't get out so I think I'm, I'm here to stay
Till someone comes along and takes my place
With a different name, and by the way a different face
Are you feeling alright? Are you feeling alright?
I'm not feeling too good, too good myself
Are you feeling alright? Are you feeling alright?
Alright, I'm not feeling too good, too good myself
Are you feeling alright? Alright
Alright, I'm not feeling too good, too good myself
Are you feeling alright? Alright
Alright, I'm not feeling too good, too good myself
Are you feeling alright? Alright
Are you feeling alright?
I'm not feeling too good, too good myself
