All the dreams gave way
Is she alive? Can she just not say?
Is this the end of the last of the first heartbreaks?
She can't understand
Ready though she is, she cannot think straight
Is she alive? Can she twist her fate?
All the boys on the radio dance floor
They won't understand at all
It was a question, oh, that she once revered
Like the itch of the just meets the call of the weird
Left unanswered, underneath and above
So she danced all alone and got ready for love
And so, she moves slow
Through those doe eyes that once held her
So entertained, only this remained
Nobody explained
If she cries all night
Is she alive? Is she just not quite?
Will she survive all the plasticine husbands?
It's nothing that The Book won't cure
Maybe all the secrets that she knows won't save her
What doesn't kill you makes you that bit stranger
She was everything they needed when they needed what they needed
Now she can't understand at all
It was a question, oh, that she once revered
Like the itch of the just meets the call of the weird
Left unanswered, underneath and above
So she danced all alone and got ready for love
And so, she moves slow
Through those doe eyes that once held her
So entertained, only this remained
Nobody explained
♪
Maybe she was orphaned when the floor gave way
Is she alive? Can she just not say?
Is this a trick of the light from a gun, shy boy?
She can't understand
Never catch her eye if you cannot swim
Are you alive? Are your chances slim?
You better pray that she just won't take you
'Cause you won't understand at all
It was a question, oh, that she once revered
Like the itch of the just meets the call of the weird
Left unanswered, underneath and above
So she danced all alone and got ready for love
And so, she moves slow
Through those doe eyes that once held her
So entertained, only this remained
Nobody explained
She can't understand at all
She can't understand at all
She can't understand at all
She can't understand at all
She can't understand at all
