"Alive"
Draw a dream about tomorrow, and hold it in your hand
to take away this sorrow, and try to be a man.
I hear you're losing everything, your keys, your car and your clothes
So I'll try again when you're not out, playing hide and seek with buffalos.
*I'm waiting for the day
when everyone will fly
we'll leave this all behind
back to the place where we are alive.
So push and pull me once again
my skin still shows the stain
Dry river holds no rowboat
just wishing for the rain.
I hear you're still losing everything- your faith, your body and your mind.
So I'l try again when you're not out, with your life stuck in rewind.*
Smile with this child of the Earth
and breathe in the air of rebirth (x2)*
"Fool"
He wants to marry her, to take her away
beautiful lyrics he sang to her that day
Fill this room, with a loud sound
He seemed so good, when everyone else was around.
Chorus: And she's a fool, yeah she's a fool
a fool, and she's a fool.
She swears it's love, and she's his possession
and maybe she likes his sense of obsession.
It's a long way up, but a long way down
and she's stuck in the middle, too late to turn this around. (chorus)
Build it up then knock it down,
Build it up and knock it down
Build it up then knock it down
Build it up and knock it down
Hello my friend, it's been a while
she's always been crying, wearing this smile
just a little girl trying to please them all-
succeeding, bleeding, trying not to fall. (Chorus)
Now enormous hands, are easily aggrivated
and heavy footsteps mean this gets complicated
Just a quiet instigator in a pretty dress
but under that make-up, bruises leave a mess. (Chorus)
Build it up then knock it down,
Build it up and knock it down
Build it up then knock it down
Build her up and knock her down
Knock her down
Knock her down
Knock her down
Knock her down
