[Verse 1]
Messy hair, wide eyes
Bored her self, symbolized
Yeah, she's a cocktail waitress
To work then home, that's all she knows

[Pre-Chorus 1]
She lives alo-o-o-o-one
Turns off her pho-o-o-o-one
She locks her do-o-o-o-or
Draw the curtains, leave it all behind
A riddle, you can read it
She keeps it close, keeps it locked, locked up
She's living through a secret
The only thing that makes her feel...

[Chorus]
Alive
Alive, alive
Alive
Alive, alive

[Verse 2]
Back to work next day
Brings the check, getting paid
Well she's a cocktail waitress
She grabs her coat and shutting doors
[Pre-Chorus 2]
She's setting o-o-o-o-off
Turns of her pho-o-o-o-one
Forgetting a-a-a-a-all
The only thing that makes her feel...

[Chorus]
Alive
Alive, alive
Alive
Alive, alive

[Bridge]
She's walking over creaky floors
She hears the city pounding at the door
She's never gonna let them know
About the only thing that
(makes her feel)

[Chorus]
Alive
Alive, alive
Alive
Alive, alive
Alive
Alive, alive
Alive
Alive, alive
