Dead Alive (flipped) Lyrics - The Shins

On a walk in a fragile state 

Weird angles coming over the wire 

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 always look down 

Down my nose at the fish in the barrels 

But in the wilds of human life 

There are pretty knives, an array of gentle eyes 

So tonight 

Dance and cry 

You're dead alive

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Monuments for the awful events 

I float by in a daze on the freeway 

We can whine about different times 

But me, I'm fine with the mirrors far away 

For 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 

Feed the pike, making everything alright 

Photos 

So tonight 

Dance and cry 

The dead alive 

The dead alive 

The dead alive
