Lyrics Would We Be Alive? - The Residents

Would We Be Alive?

If we could see clearly
What we were beside
If there was no desperation
Would we be alive?
If there were no windows
That we sit inside
If there were no ugly feelings
Would we be alive?
Help us… Help us… Help us… Ahhhh…
Would you make me helpless
Something I can be
Longing for the sight of something
That I cannot see?
I be helpless on the ocean
Looking from the sea
Looking in the drifting wind
I wish that I could be
Floating near a liquid
Nice and thick and warm
Floating where there is no pleasure
And there is no harm
Life would be so pleasant
If we all could be
Helpless hopeless creatures
Just marching to the sea
Help us… Help us… Help us… Please…
