he is alive and kicking

he calls it gymnastics, calls it velocity

and you spend twenty years climbing and never change your mind

and you call it the path of least resistance

and you have everything you ever need



and you sing if you can't beat them join them

all the way up to your floor

memorize and repeat it

and sing it like you mean it



they are talking to me and i am nowhere to be found

there's somewhere else i had to be

call it necessity, mutiny, entropy

they think i'm down

they tell me i should brighten up

but that's just 'cause they don't know an explosion when they see one



and they sing if you can't beat them join them

all the way up to your floor

memorize and repeat it

and sing it like you mean it

all the way home to your front door

yeah you better believe it

sing it like you mean it



repeat first chorus
