Monáe, Janelle - Come Alive (War Of The Roses) Lyrics

Tommy thinks the crazies are back in my mind
Tommy says the children are clouding my head
When everything is wrong I dance inside my mind

That's when I come alive like a schizo running wild
That's when I come alive now let's go wild

We're kicking at your window and keeping you up
And if you come to find me I'll color you red
We're dancing in the dungeon every Monday night

That's when we come alive like a schizo running wild
That's when I come alive now let's go wild

You want to see me crazy taking my meds
And wipe away the noises you think I'm a mess
Take me six feet under, but while your roses died, I came alive

You better leave the town I'm coming for you
Call the Tommy up and tell him come help you out
I'm getting wild on you you better go and call the law

When Tommy thinks the crazies are back your mind
When Tommy says the children are clouding your head
When everything is wrong, just dance inside your mind
And you'll come alive

Dr herbert west theme song

Very punk rock but her own spin on it

Monae is cosmic jazz,
punk, swing, and rockarolla in this song. Incredible.

Ooh, cosmic jazz...! That has a nice ring to it

When people ask "where is the real talent now a days?" Its right here. It's still alive. Such an underrated talent!

sounds like the Fratellis

this song is so halloween

mental illness isn't halloween.

It definitely has a Halloween vibe going on. I jam to this every time Halloween rolls around.

The roses in my backyard are dying. I noticed today and thought about you and this song. Come Alive, Queen Janelle.

Wait, tell me that wasn't her actual voice...2:20 - 2:33 *WOW WOW WOW*

It is tho 😓

The fact that she recorded this song when she was sick with a cold is AMAZING!!!!!!

*G.O.A.T.* Janelle can do it all!!! She's her own music genre! *BIG FACTS*

Tommy thinks the crazies are back in my mind
Tommy says the children are clouding my head
When everything is wrong I dance inside my mind

That's when I come alive like a schizo running wild
That's when I come alive now let's go wild

We're kicking at your window and keeping you up
And if you come to find me I'll color you red
We dancing in the dungeon every Monday night

That's when I come alive like a schizo running wild
That's when I come alive now let's go wild

You want to see me crazy taking my meds
And wipe away my noises you think I'm a mess
Take me six feet under while your roses died I came alive

You better leave the town I'm coming for you
Call the Tommy up and tell him come help you out
I'm getting wild on you you better go and call the law

Tommy thinks the crazies are back in my mind
Tommy says the children are clouding my head
When everything is wrong I dance inside your mind
You come alive
