James Mercer - Dead Alive lyrics

[Intro] Figments of imagination "What are they hiding under there?" [Verse 1] On a walk in a fragile state Weird angles coming over the wire Back home we got girls in braids And they're on roller skates and they roll any way they like From my town I can always look down Down my nose at the fish in the barrels But in the wilds of human life There are pretty knives, an array of gentle eyes [Chorus] So tonight Dance and cry The dead alive [Verse 2] Monuments for awful events I float by in a daze on the freeway He can whine about different times But me, I'm fine with the mirrors far away For the mills in the valley to function Rain gonna fall on the hills where we hide Wash the blood and the guts to the ocean Feed the pike, making everything alright [Chorus] So tonight Dance and cry The dead alive [Chorus] So tonight Dance and cry The dead alive [Outro] Figments Figments of imagination Figments of imagination (figments of imagination) Figments of imagination Figments of imagination Figments of imagination Figments of imagination Figments of imagination Figments of imagination Figments of imagination (Figments of imagination)
