about

This song serves as an introduction to the (LIVE) album...

It's about a man trying to live his life
as normally as possible
in a world that is ending.

lyrics

"Oh yeah, right! I almost forgot - like - you gotta hear this one guy
on my iPod. When he sings this song it's like - MY GOD!
Just learn the words and try to sing along."

My name is Alex, but folks call me "Xander".
I'm the Commander of a righteous battalion of white doves!
I'll show you magic if you show me love.

First thing in the morning, well I...roll outta bed...
get me a cup o' coffee and a...cigarette.
Call one of my friends, invite 'em over.
Then I look to the end and try to find closure...
man, it gets so hard to keep my composure...yea...

Is anyone alive out there? Can anyone hear me?

Another war, another warning...
another dream, another dawn!
For seven days it's been storming...
seven days without sun.
And all the trees just keep on falling,
a few more weeks and they'll be gone...
and all the people keep their eyes to the sky,
they wonder why it took 'em so long...yea...

Is anyone alive out there? Can anyone hear me?
