Overview
“Death Valley” was one of the first songs that featured musical collaboration between Stump and guitarist Trohman in the wake of the band’s hiatus.
According to numerous interviews with the band, including the commentary below, Joe composed the song while hiding in a closet at his in-laws'...
[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 'til 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
