the hold steady - look alive lyrics
[verse 1]
wrecked and obsessed and set to attack
everything about him seemed ready to snap
he said he only showed up ’cause he was hoping for a shoot ’em up
he had blood on his boots and an arrow through his hat
he’s paranoid and he’s obsolete
i don’t like the way he’s looking at me
it could set off any moment now
man, i’ve seen him destroy a dude before
[chorus 1]
try to look alive and consider yourself someone that you love
these bodies on this bus, it looks like they don’t feel so good about themselves
[verse 2]
crosstown, everybody was pooling their money
rolling on down to the railroad yard
timing is everything and everything is kicking off early
heaven is a place where n0body’s trying too hard
they’re shaky, but they’re optimists
they’re dripping wet in western wear
they hang up at the methodist
so hard to be a christian soldier there
[chorus 1]
[verse 3]
a constant threat of ambush keeps them scared
they cross themselves and mouth a hopeful prayer
deliver us from anxiety, protect us from discomfort
keep us floating up above the things that make us nervous
don’t hurt us
[chorus 2]
try to look alive and consider yourself someone that you love
these bodies on this bus, it looks like they don’t feel so good about themselves
try to stay alive
take care of your bones and brains and blood
try to look alive and consider yourself someone that you love
