Look Alive

[Verse 1]

Wrecked and obsessed and set to attack

Everything about him seemed ready to snap

He said he only showed up 'cause he was hoping for a shoot 'em up

He had blood on his boots and an arrow through his hat

He's paranoid and he's obsolete

I don't like the way he's looking at me

It could set off any moment now

Man, I've seen him destroy a dude before

[Chorus 1]

Try to look alive and consider yourself someone that you love

These bodies on this bus, it looks like they don't feel so good about themselves

[Verse 2]

Crosstown, everybody was pooling their money

Rolling on down to the railroad yard

Timing is everything and everything is kicking off early

Heaven is a place where nobody's trying too hard

They're shaky, but they're optimists

They're dripping wet in western wear

They hang up at the Methodist

So hard to be a Christian soldier there

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 3]

A constant threat of ambush keeps them scared

They cross themselves and mouth a hopeful prayer

Deliver us from anxiety, protect us from discomfort

Keep us floating up above the things that make us nervous

Don't hurt us

[Chorus 2]

Try to look alive and consider yourself someone that you love

These bodies on this bus, it looks like they don't feel so good about themselves

Try to stay alive

Take care of your bones and brains and blood

Try to look alive and consider yourself someone that you love
