lyrics

Soul Survivor take six, do it a little bit faster this time
Six
One two three [Spoken]

Uh

I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy
Oh yes I need somebody's sympathy (Oh oh)
Don't leave me here alone, don't let me be
The soul survivor of this tragedy

My life was good, I had my feet on the ground
My love was flying so high and free
But then my dreams they come a tumbling down
Now I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy

I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy
Oh yes I need somebody's sympathy
Don't leave me here alone, don't let me be (Aah-ah)
Soul survivor of this tragedy

I'm trying so hard to forget my pain
And leave my past behind
But when your life is suddenly filled with rain
You keep remembering how the sun used to shine

And I can't stand it, no I can't stand the loneliness
The constant emptiness
Why has unhappiness come into my life
I spend my mornings waking and thinking
And cry my evenings late into the night

My life was good when she was hanging round
My love was flying so high and free
But then my dreams they all come tumbling down
I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy

I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy
Yes I need somebody's sympathy
Don't leave me here alone, don't let me be
Soul survivor of this tragedy

I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy
Oh yes I need somebody's sympathy
Don't leave me here alone, don't let me be
Soul survivor of this tragedy

I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy (Ah ya-ah ah ah aah aah)
(Sing it Randy)
Oh yes I need somebody's sympathy (Ah-ah ah)
Don't leave me here alone, don't let me be
Soul survivor of this tragedy

Aw all all all alright (Soul survivor)
(Ye-he-he-be)
Soul survivor of this tragedy
Soul survivor of this tragedy
I say this record don't become a hit
Well I think, I think it's time for me to quit
