Arriving Alive Lyrics - 2006

[ Buy Arriving Alive ]

White dress
Cold eyed smile stretched across the mirror
She shows up, sings high
I try not to hear her
She's a virus of fresh starts
Puts you to bed with a pounding heart
An insomniac snowflake
She enters the party like a flurry from outside
With eyelashes like whirlwinds

Oh Delilah, I'm doing all that I can
Oh Delilah, not to fall for your outstretched hand

Temptation dangling from her reddened lips
My pulse quickens as I lean in for another kiss
She sends a shiver through my spine
Cuts the night into little lines
I breathe them in and dive
Now the house is an ocean of untapped vibes

You are a dangerous angel in a cool white spiderweb
How many boys have you tangled in your electric promise
And sent in a poisoned whir, spinning, twisting and falling back to earth?

White dress
Cold eyed smile stretched across the mirror
She shows up, sings high
I try not to hear her
She enters the party like a flurry from outside
With eyelashes like whirlwinds, her cold eyes alight
