Look Alive

by Joni Mitchell

The hardest thing is rendering a
moment moving too fast to endure,
but you abide and smile wide cause
I want to remember this for sure,
you can give me guns and politics and
I'll just make a mess of it, you know,
give me all the sustinance and
the wiser wider part of me will show ,
yeah yeah yeah
A picture says with sight
what we can't say with words,
but you've been walking eyes to feet
in dark sunglasses ,
a picture will survive
so smile and look alive,
the camera lens is opening
the wider angle's yours
Yeah, every empty one of us have methods
to quell the madness of this pace,
but yours have bled and are running south
like jealous Dior mascara down your face,
you could take that wait and all that fuss so
now just get the best of us, you know,
give me love not suicide and
the wise wider part of me will show ,
yeah yeah
A picture says with sight
what we can't say with words,
but you've been walking eyes to feet
in dark sunglasses,
a picture will survive
so smile and look alive,
the camera lens is opening
the wider angle's yours!
Look alive... Smile,
smile and look alive
smile, smile and look alive
yeah woah oh!
A picture says with sight
what we can't say with words,
but you've been walking eyes to feet
in dark sunglasses,
a picture will survive
so smile and look alive
A picture says with sight
what we can't say with words,
but you've been walking eyes to feet
in dark sunglasses,
a picture will survive
so smile and look alive,
the camera lens is opening
the wider angle's yours.
Look alive
smile, smile and look alive
yeah, smile and look alive
yeah woah!
