The Fratellis - Alive lyrics
[The Fratellis - Alive lyrics]
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
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

Will she survive all the plasticine husbands?
It's nothing that The Book won't cure
