Beyond the window, there′s a temple fair

Fluorescent lights they fill the humid air

I sit in silence watch the people jiveSo this is how it feels to be alive

Here comes the bass drum, feel it shake the earth

The kind of rhythm that makes you fall in love

Out on the dance floor sparks a young romance

But fate would have it that they wouldn't stand a chance

The strays, the gods, I′ve seen the lot

Their out there screaming

We didn't grow up the same

Please don't judge me by the name of my neighborhood

And should our thoughts not align

You can politely decline, it′s ok, we′re good

It's ok, we′re good

The strays, the gods, I've seen the lot

Their out there screaming

We didn′t grow up the same

Please don't judge me by the name of my neighborhood

And should our thoughts not align

You can politely decline, it′s ok, we're good

It's ok, we′re good

Beyond the window, there′s a temple fair

Fluorescent lights they fill the humid air

I sit in silence watch the people jive

So this is how it feels to be alive
