Yeah, so, um, wait a second Yeah, so, um, wait a second Yeah, so, um, wait a second Yeah, so, um, wait a second Sold your liver but you're still feeling the red Sold my feelings now I'm hanging by a thread Bad And it's creeping its way through my windows And it's slithering under my door And it's in my peripheral vision And it's pourin' up under my floor And it's whispering into my eardrums And it's telling me that I want more But I'm coming alive I'm happening now I'm coming alive I'm happening now I'm coming alive I'm happening now I'm coming alive I'm happening now And that eureka moment hits you like a cop car And you wake up just head and shoulders in a glass jar You clear your throat you raise your eyebrow but you don't say There's something wrong but it's okay if we're still getting paid Yeah you're ravenous you're chomping at the bit Just a cog next to a cog next to a pit I would burn to break away and rest my ears No more lightning, no more solace in arrears Bad And it's creeping its way through my windows And it's slithering under my door And it's in my peripheral vision And it's pourin' up under my floor And it's whispering into my eardrums And it's telling me that I want more But I'm coming alive I'm happening now I'm coming alive I'm happening now I'm coming alive I'm happening now I'm coming alive I'm happening now And that eureka moment hits you like a cop car And you wake up just head and shoulders in a glass jar You clear your throat you raise your eyebrow but you don't say There's something wrong but it's okay if we're still getting paid But I'm coming alive I'm happening now I'm coming alive I'm happening now I'm coming alive I'm happening now I'm coming alive I'm happening now And that eureka moment hits you like a cop car And you wake up just head and shoulders in a glass jar You clear your throat you raise your eyebrow but you don't say There's something wrong but it's okay if we're still getting paid But I'm coming alive Cough cough
