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, 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
