Alive

All her dreams gave way

Is she alive? Can she just not say?

Is the end of the last of the first heartbreaks?

She can't understand

Ready though that she is, she cannot think straight

Is she alive? Can she twist her fate?

All the boys on the radio dance floor

They won't understand at all

There was a question, oh, that she once revered

Like the itch of the just meets the call of the weird

Left unanswеred underneath and abovе

So she danced all alone and got ready for love

And so she moves slow through those doe eyes

That once held so entertained

Only this remained and nobody explained

If she cries all night

Is she alive? Is she just not quite?

Will she survive all the plasticine husbands?

It's nothing that The Book won't cure

Maybe all the secrets that she knows won't save her

What doesn't kill you makes you that bit stranger

She was everything they needed when they needed what they needed

Now she can't understand at all

There was a question, oh, that she once revered

Like the itch of the just meets the call of the weird

Left unanswered underneath and above

So she danced all alone and got ready for love

And so she moves slow, through those doe eyes

That once held her so entertained

Only this remained, nobody explained

Maybe she was orphaned when the floor gave way

Is she alive? Can she just not say?

Is this a trick of the light from a gun shy boy?

She can't understand

Never catch her eye if you cannot swim

Are you alive? Are your chances slim?

You better pray that she just won't take you

Cause you won't understand at all

There was a question, oh, that she once revered

Like the itch of the just meets the call of the weird

Left unanswered underneath and above

So she danced all alone and got ready for love

And so she moves slow through those doe eyes

That once held her so entertained

Only this remained, nobody explained

She can't understand at all

She can't understand at all

She can't understand at all

She can't understand at all

She can't understand at all

She can't understand at all

She can't understand at all
