Alone/Alive Songtext
von Shapes and Sizes

Dottie, your hands are on fire today
You′re crunching numbers so fast you can't see
Your hands are all blurry and that makes me worry
′Cause numbers are meaning and I wanna know

Brian, your mind is on fire tonight
It's spinning words at a speed makes fright
I look up and over my head I see
And that makes me worry 'cause I wanna know
I wanna know how

Tonight, I learn that I′m alone
I′m packed in lumber and tallness
Tonight, I learn that I'm alone
Now homeless men won′t even come to my home
Tonight, I learn that I'm alone
The moon and I, we cry and crawl
Tonight, I learn that I′m alone
The stars will warm the hall
And I'm home


Henry, your cheeks are on fire tonight
From something I′ve said and it makes me feel nice
The bump of their head, their enticing advance
It makes me feel like I'm winning the fight

Casey, you're making me laugh today
I′m falling all over the things that you say
We′re rolling up, hauling all into hay
Midnight on that 19th century Russian play
Hey, hey, hey

Tonight, I feel that I'm alive
I spit, I smoke, I widen my stride
Tonight, I feel that I′m alive
No stumbling, ain't no reason to hide
Tonight, I feel that I′m alive
My wage went up $4.50 to $5.00
Tonight, I feel that I'm alive
Spending on pavement, I need your hand, no shame

Let′s just say that it's one of those days
When the earth bulge up and the sky get concave
Like a lens that is warped and distort all its views
And I'm placed in a place which way is higher
