Lyrics

Alpha

The lights are on, the TV is on
My body is still on
The lights are on, the TV is on
My body is still on

Electrified
Statuette against the high rise
I wanna know if I can feel alive
I wanna know

'Cause I'm an a-a-alpha
I'm an a-alpha
I'm an a-a-alpha
I divide and conquer

The lights are on, the radio is on
My body is still on
The lights are on, the radio is on
My body is still on

Electrified
I wanna know if I can satisfy
I wanna know if I can pacify
I wanna know

'Cause I'm an a-a-alpha
I'm an a-alpha
I'm an a-a-alpha
I'm an a-alpha
I'm an a-a-alpha
I'm an a-alpha
I'm a...

Just see my try
I wanna know, are you satisfied?
I wanna know, do I satisfy?
Statuette against the high rise
Silhouette of mature life
I wanna know, can I feel alive?
I wanna know

'Cause I'm an a-a-alpha
I'm an a-alpha
I'm an a-a-alpha
I'm an a-alpha
I'm an a-a-alpha
I'm an a-alpha
I'm an a-a-alpha
I divide and conquer

I'm an alpha
I'm an alpha
