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 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

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

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

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

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
