Alive and Brilliant

Way above, the clouds are black

They say it's gonna pour, but I haven't been keeping track

So now we're here in this cage

The Ferris wheel of love, my love, what a charade

It's been a long time, a long time

A long time, a long time

A long time, a long time

A long time since anyone meant what they said

One step forward, two steps back

When I won't wrestle, you won't talk back

Three deep breaths, I'm still alive and brilliant

Turn around, people lied

I'm so sick of listening to your crap about the breasts you like

Look at me, I'm restrained

I'm not screaming like some jealous adolescent here in vain

It's been a long time, a long time

A long time, a long time

A long time, a long time

A long time since anyone meant what they said

One step forward, two steps back

When I won't wrestle, you won't talk back

Three deep breaths, I'm still alive and brilliant

I said, one step forward, two steps back

When I won't wrestle, you won't talk back

Three deep breaths, I'm still alive and brilliant

Can you hear the bells?

I think I want the bells

See, you got me on this ride

What was it, darling? What exactly did you have in mind?

Ferris wheel, up and down

Is this some dumb metaphor to tell me you're not hanging 'round?

It's been a long time, a long time

A long time, a long time

A long time, a long time

A long time, a long time

A long time, a long time

A long time since anyone's said what they meant

One step forward, two steps back

When I won't wrestle, you won't talk back

Three deep breaths, I'm still alive and

One step forward, two steps back

When I won't wrestle, you won't talk back

Three deep breaths, I'm still alive and brilliant

Alive and brilliant

Alive and brilliant

I'm alive and brilliant
