Make Out Alright
Divinyls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How can you see it through
Caught up and calling, falling through
Taken a certain something
That's fallen from our lives
Boy I can see it in your eyes
Do you know where you're going
There's no way of knowing
If you let him go
If there's soul where you're going
If there's soul let it show
I know where you go
You're gonna make out alright
Or break out alright
All that you wanted baby
Is right in front of you
Is my message getting through to you yeah, yeah
True communication
Is always hard to find
When you've left your words behind
Do you know where you're going
Do you know where you go
There's no way of knowing
If you let him go
If there's soul where you're going
If there's soul let it roll
I know where you go
You're gonna make out alright
Or break out alright
Make out alright, make out alright
Make out alright, make out alright
Do you know where you're goint
Do you know where you go
There's now way of knowing
If you let him go
If there's soul where you're going
If there's soul let it roll
I know where you're going
You're gonna make out alright
Or break out alright
Make out alright, make out alright
Make out alright, make out alright
Make it in the morning
Make out all night
Make it, make it, make it
Make out alright
Make out alright
Make out alright

Imo, the greatest song off the reboot album, despite the popularity of the track following it. I'm sad to hear she passed away of cancer and MS last night/this morning. She was a largely unrecognized talent who had much more to offer besides her looks. R.I.P. Chrissy Amphlett.

One of my favorite bands of all time. RIP Chrissie. You were one of the great ones.

I am so shocked to hear about her passing. I was just looking up stuff on her a month ago. Have always loved her music. I played the hell out of this CD when I bought in '91. I was 14 years old. Although I loved "I Touch Myself", "Make Out Alright" was my favorite on that album.

One of the first albums I bought for myself. Make It Alright, I Touch Myself, Lay Your Body Down and Love School are my favorite songs off the album, but the whole album rocks.

Thanks for all the great memories Chrissy. Lost another great voice from the days of the REAL "MTV". Loved her since "Pleasure and Pain". Rest in peace princess.
