Electric Six
Arrive Alive
[Verse 1]
Yelling at the world as he leaves us all behind
Looking for a girl who still says "Be kind, rewind"
Travelling at speeds, maternity exceeds
Rolling through time and space like tumbleweeds

[Chorus 1]
I wanted to wave the white flag and join the hive
And arrive alive with you
I wanted to stuff the white bag with human lives
And get out the knives and cut through
I wanted to sing for my supper
Down every upper
And fly from room to room

[Verse 2]
Maybe we are meant to drift until we die
Maybe let us in to rip while we curse and cry
Give us a little less imagination and more fears
A vapid dissertation that takes a thousand years

[Chorus 2]
I wanted to change the outcome that she'd derive
From 95 to 1-2
I wanted to save the car wreckthat she survived
And display it in Kathmandu
I wanted to share the sharecropper
And launch the Big Bopper
Arrive alive with you
[Verse 3]
Building a better mouse trap takes a hundred million bills
Because sailing through stars requires next level skills
Building a better dam takes a certain kind of beaver
Because to trip the fantastic you must become a true believer

[Chorus 3]
I wanted to take all the provision that you provide
And drink Five Alive with you
I want to sign the dotted line and stay inside
'Cause there's literally nothing to do
I want to discount the bean counter
Make the edges rounder
Arrive alive with you
