MIYAVI

Released: April 15, 2015

[Verse 1]
WHAT'S GOING ON, MAN, WHAT IS IT？
THE MUSIC'S GOT ME OBSESSED
LET ME TAKE CARE OF THE BUSINESS
AND LET THE BEAT DO THE REST
THIS TRIP IS JUST GETTING STARTED
YOU JUST RELAX, TAKE A BREATH
ENTER THE LIFE OF THE PARTY
WE'RE GONNA DANCE TO THE DEATH

[Chorus]
I'M COMING ALIVE

[Verse 2]
YOU HEAR THE RIFF, IT'S SHARPENED
YOU FEEL IT ZIGZAG A MOVE
IT'S LIKE A KNIFE TO THE HEART AND
WITH IT WE ALL DIG A GROOVE
SWEEPING US UP LIKE AN OCEAN
A RUSH OF BLOOD TO THE BRAIN
ALL OF OUR BODIES IN MOTION
HIT US AGAIN AND AGAIN

[Chorus]
I'M COMING ALIVE

[Bridge]
MAYBE YOU NEED SOME PERSUADING
BUT THERE IS NO TIME FOR DEBATING
JUST LISTEN TO THE WORDS THAT I'M SAYING
THE RHYTHM NEVER QUITS, IT KEEPS PLAYING

[Verse 3]
A LONG WAY FROM WHERE WE STARTED
ABOUT TO RUN OUT OF BREATH
BUT THERE IS NO END TO THE PARTY
WE'RE GONNA DANCE TO THE DEATH

[Chorus]
I'M COMING ALIVE
