Look Alive

I climbed out of my window
Tip toed down the roof
Jumped and rolled onto the ground
Ram down the avenue
My head on a swivel
My hoodie zipped tight
At the corner of the block there's a watchful street light

Look Alive Look Alive Look Alive
Look Alive Look Alive Look Alive

Well I've tried to trace your anger
From the welts on my back
To the belt of your father
Did he buckle you up bad?
As I run by these houses
With their kitchen lights on
Do they hide the same rage?
Do they hold back their song?

Look Alive Look Alive Look Alive
Look Alive Look Alive Look Alive

I'm not sticking round to find out
I'm in the darkness on the edge of town
I'm going down down down
I'm going down down down
To the river

Dip me in the water
Hold me by the heel
Thetis my mother
Make me a shield

Dip me in the water
Hold me by the heel
Thetis my mother
Make me a shield

I climbed back in my window
Black turned to blue
The birds started chatting
The grass got it's dew
As I drifted off the sleep
I called out to you
Carry me water
Away or through
