[Refrain]
We will never be the ones above
But that doesn't seem to bother us, my love

[Verse 1]
If the house is built right
We can live underneath it at night
We can sneak on up
Pretend this is our lot
I know you don't sleep right
And sometimes I wonder why
Is it the bodies above us
Trying to keep you in line?

[Refrain]
We will never be the ones above
But that doesn't seem to bother us, my love

[Chorus]
Some arrive slow
Some arrive alone
Alone
Some arrive slow
Some arrive alone
Alone

[Verse 2]
Everything will be done right
And there's no need to wonder when
The bells will ring on time
And we will serve such capable men

[Chorus]
Some arrive slow
Some arrive alone
Alone
Some arrive slow
Some arrive alone
Alone
Alone
Alone

[Outro]
Some arrive slow
Some arrive alone
Some arrive slow
Some arrive alone
Some wear out their heels for days
And burn in the sun while the others wait
Some arrive slow
Some arrive alone
Some arrive slow
Some arrive alone
Some arrive slow
Some arrive alone
