Alive Lyrics by The Temper Trap

Thick As Thieves

2016

[Verse 1]
Running round in circles
Yeah, we just running round in circles
Staring at a screen

Tying up our laces
And catch the first train to the office
Working the machine

[Pre-Chorus]
The TV's reading out the news
You got everything to lose, oh

[Chorus]
Yeah, feels so good
So good to be alive
Yeah, feels so good
So good to be alive

[Verse 2]
Running from the masses
Standing in line to pay the taxes
Waiting for return

Yeah, I got an education
With a degree in repetition
Not a lot of time to burn

[Pre-Chorus]
The TV's reading out the news
You got everything to lose, oh

[Chorus]
Yeah, feels so good
So good to be alive
Yeah, feels so good
So good to be alive

Ohh feels so good
Good to be alive
(Good good good)
Yeah feels so good
Feels good be alive

[Instrumental + Bridge]
Ahhh, ahhh

[Chorus]
Yeah, feels so good
So good to be alive
Yeah, feels so good
So good to be alive

[Instrumental Outro]
