Dead Alive Lyrics - The Shins

On a walk in a fragile state 

Weird angles coming over the wires 

Back home we got girls in braids 

And they're on roller skates and they roll any way they like 

From my town I can only see down 

Down my nose to the fish in the barrels 

But they are the wiles of human life 

There are pity nights and a ray of gentle lights 

So tonight 

Dance and cry 

The dead alive

Monuments were awfully dense 

I float by in a daze on the freeway 

You can whine of our different times 

But me, I'm fine with a view that is far away 

We're the mills in the valley to function 

Rain gonna fall on the hills where we hide 

Wash the blood and the guts to the ocean 

Leave the pike making everything alright 

So tonight 

Dance and cry 

The dead alive 

So tonight 

Dance and cry 

The dead alive
