I think the line in the second verse is actually "Like dollar-store mascara down your face."

Interesting take on the phrase "look alive", TheSOADGirl. When I first heard the song, those words made me think of soccer practice when I was a kid, the coach would always yell at us to "Look alive!", as in "Pay attention, be aware!". I took Brandon's use of those words in that way, but he could certainly be using them with a double meaning. Both would apply to the song equally well.
