Survive You I was once a bright young thing, on my way, straight to the top Then suddenly you fell in my way like a drunken, overprivileged roadblock What did I do to deserve this constant stream of ignominy? All I ever wanted to do was serve the Board, faithfully I get blamed for the mistakes you make, they bounce off you and stick to me But it won’t always be this way, just you wait, you will see I will survive you, I've just got to weather the storm I’ll thrive without you, I’ll be here long after you've gone I will, survive, I will survive you I will, survive, I will survive you If you were another employee, you’d be dead and gone and out of my way You're just coasting on the Geistman name, a family tree that's withered away The way you act makes life expectancies around you real bleak Unless that David’s a miracle worker, they’ll be dead in a week Gonna keep you out the Cosmic Lounge, until you learn Gonna keep puttin’ feet in your mouth, until you learn I will survive you, I've just got to weather the storm I’ll thrive without you, I’ll be here long after you've gone I will, survive, I will survive you I will, survive, I will survive you You'll be dead, and I’ll be alive, I will survive, I will survive x4 (fading out) Artists Dr. Beaver: Band Leader, Bass, Additional Guitars JJ Perry: Guitar, Production, Mixing and Mastering, Arrangement and Additional Music Jenny Haufek: Vocals Tim Meredith: Music and Lyrics Special thanks to Amy Dickinson for advice and support. “Survive You” is from the album “Cabaret Night at the Cosmic Lounge”. © Rusty Quill 2020 If you would like to own the full album, consider becoming a Patron of Rusty Quill!
