Gone are the days of pretence and hiding
Telling your friends you're just spending time alone
Gone all the lazy self denying -
They call it blood but it tastes like silicone

I guess you loved them if you say you did
But you'll be slated all your life for this
So let's be done with the tragic schtick
You thought you were dead
Now you're going to live

You're gonna live
You're gonna live
You're gonna live

You'll wake in the night
Start up the car
Forget who you were
You'll never be happier

I'll make us a place
In the dust and static
Pray to the gods
They won't take you back again

All your days will be
Safe while you're with me
But I've got to believe
You're going to live
Like Veronica Lake in a New York diner
It may have been the sound of a stranger saying your name
Like CF Kane at the end of the line you
Woke from a dream to a world all re-arranged

Now we'll plant your name like a spike in the ground
Raise your flag all over town
You thought you were lost - well now you're found
So grab your things 'cause
You're going to live

All your days will be
Safe while you're with me
You're going to live
