chorus:

1ST TIME: you're blowin' by but you're running, I fell asleep in the alkalide. I can't shake this little feeling, I'll never get anything right. 2ND TIME: you're blowin by but you've running, let's sleep in the alkalide. I can't shake this tiny feeling, I'll never say anything (right)/[iamonmyown...] 3RD TIME: You're blown by but you're run out, I fell asleep in an alkalide I can't shake this little feeling, I never did anything (right)/[iamonmyown...]

the vid that zelane posted above youtube.com/watch - compared to studio - only diff I hear is that on the live, Jesse sings the 3rd studio version(run out) on 2nd and 3d time(and sounds like he says 'think I'll slip into the alkalide' on the live one, which I don't hear on the studio at all.) anyways...I do think it's a) 'BLOWIN(G) BY'- makes sense if you think about it AND b) 'ALKALIDE' - "Alkalides are chemical compounds in which alkali metals are anions (that is, they bear a negative charge)" -(from wiki) - so it goes along with the degausser def- and makes sense to the song - and also what others put as alkali - I def hear the 'de' though I'm not 100% on this - I can't be - just puttin it out there - so maybe I'm wrong but thats what I think it is.

"you're blowing by, but you're running" doesn't make sense. if anything, it'd be "you're blowing by AND you're running" but he clearly says "but." I really think it's "you burn bright, but you run out" then "I fell asleep in the alkaline". alkalinity is associated with neutralizing something and i think him staying neutral is a major theme in the chorus, not choosing a definitive side, hence "I'll never get anything right". Then again he does scream it pretty incomprehensibly so who knows, that's just what I've gathered from my thousands of listens. Either way this song is unreal...
