Testo Alive The Fratellis

Alive

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 unansw?red underneath and abov?
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, 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
