Arrive Alive

Yelling at the world as it leaves us all behind

Looking for a girl who still says we can rewind

Traveling at speeds modernity 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 lies

And get out the knives and cut through

I wanted to sing for my supper, down every upper

And smile from roof to roof

Baby, we are meant to drift until we die

Maybe let us enter ripped while we curse and cry

Give us a little less imagination and more feels

A vapid dissertation that takes a thousand years

I wanted to change the outcome that she derived

From ninety-five two one two

I wanted to save the Corvette that she survived

And display it in Katmandu

I wanted to share the sharecropper and launch The Big Bopper

Arrive alive with you

Building a better mousetrap 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 provisions that you provide

And drink Five Alive with you

I wanted to sign the dotted line and stay inside

'Cause there's literally nothing to do

I wanted to stop the bean counter, make the edges louder

Arrive alive with you
