Lyrics for Would We Be Alive (Intermission)
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? Would we be alive? Would we be alive? Would we be alive? Would we be alive? Would we be alive? Would we be alive? Help us... Help us... Help us... Ahhhh... Help us... Help us... Help us... Ahhhh... 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... Help us... Help us... Help us... Please... Help us... Help us... Help us... Please...
