Electric Six – Arrive Alive lyrics

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

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 lies
And get out alive
And cut through
I wanted to sing for my supper
Down every upper
And slide from room to room

Baby, 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 feels
A vapid dissertation that takes a thousand years

I wanted to change the outcome that she'd arrive
From 9 to 5 to 1-2
I wanted to save the comrade that she survived
And display it in Kathmandu
I wanted to share the sharecropper
And launch the Big Bopper
Arrive alive with you

Building a better mouse trap takes a hundred million bills
Because sailing through stars requires next level skills
Building a better damn takes a certain kind of beaver
Because to trip the fantastic you must become a true believer

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 bee counter
Make the edges rounder
Arrive alive with you
