Blake says no one ever really loved him 
They just faked it to get money from the government 
And Blake thinks angels grow when you plant angel dust 
He shakes his pretty head 
But darling, trust me, trust me 
He's no valentine 
Though he said he would be mine 
His heart is in Alaska all the time 

Blake stays underwater for the most part 
He collects loose change for All Tomorrow's Parties 
And when Blake dates girls with tattoos of the pyramids 
He breaks their hearts 
By saying it's not permanent 
But in his velvet mind 
He believes with all his might 
We'll all go to Alaska when we die 

Blake makes friends but only for a minute 
He prefers the things he orders from the internet 
And Blake's been having trouble with his head again 
He takes his pills 
But never takes his medicine 
Like Candy in his prime 
He likes his shirts to shine 
And when it's two o'clock it feels like nine 

Blake says he is sorry he got through to me 
If it's okay he'll call right back and talk to the machine 
Blake says it looks like acid rain today 
He takes the fish inside 
He's very kind that way 
But just like Caroline 
He doesn't seem to mind 
The globe is getting warmer all the time 

It's still cold in Alaska 
It's still cold in Alaska
