[Verse 1]
I want to see your animal side
Let it all out
I wanna see the dirt under your skin
I need your broken promises

[Pre-Chorus]
I want the guts and glory, baby, baby
This town is wasted and alone

[Chorus]
But we are alive, here in death valley
But don't take love off the table yet
'Cause tonight, it's just fire alarms and losing you
We love a lot, so we only lose a little
But we are alive, we are alive, we are alive

[Verse 2]
I want to see your animal side
Let it all out
Oh, there you go, undress to impress
You can wear the crown but you're no princess

[Pre-Chorus]
So put the "D" in dirt now, baby, baby
Let's get you wasted and alone

[Chorus]
'Cause we are alive, here in death valley
But don't take love off the table yet
'Cause tonight, it's just fire alarms and losing you
We love a lot, so we only lose a little
But we are alive, we are alive, we are alive

[Bridge]
We're going to die, it's just a matter of time
Hard times come, good times go
I'm either gone in an instant
Or here 'till the bitter end, I never know
What I've got will make you feel more alive
I'll be your favorite drug, I will get you high, I will get you high

[Chorus]
We're still, we are alive, here in death valley
But don't take love off the table yet
'Cause tonight, it's just fire alarms and losing you
We love a lot, so we only lose a little
But we are alive, we are alive, we are alive

Fall Out Boy is an American rock band hailing from Wilmette, Illinois. The band was formed in 2001 by Pete Wentz, who supplies bass and lyrics to the band, and guitarist Joe Trohman, who both used to be part of metalcore band Arma Angelus. Trohman later recruited vocalist Patrick Stump, who initially tried out as the band’s drummer, after meeting him in a bookstore. After the release of Project Rocket/Fall Out Boy, a split EP with Project Rocket. It was recorded without current drummer Andy Hurley due to him being disinterested in the project; Hurley later joined in 2003 as a replacement touring drummer.

Fueled By Ramen, who were a small independent label at the time, personally called Fall Out Boy to ask them to record a full-length record after hearing one of their demos online. This album became their 2003 debut, Take This To Your Grave, and was a tipping point between the band’s underground success to success in the mainstream. It was the band’s last album to feature Stump as the lead lyricist.

The band’s 2004 acoustic EP, My Heart Will Always Be the B-Side to My Tongue, became their first charting release and gave fans a taste of what to expect on their sophomore album From Under The Cork Tree. The album creation was set back in February 2005 after Wentz’s suicide attempt, which influenced songs such as “7 Minutes In Heaven (Atavan Halen).” The album was released in May 2005 through Island Records, featuring guest vocals from William Beckett of The Academy Is… and Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco.
