I Come Alive
Incognito Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just wanna get down
My feet stompin' in the ground
Music be my healer
Sa du ba du ba du dei

I feel it in my veins
From the rimshot to the bass
For me there is no other, no

I'm headin' midtown
For a shakedown
Right there in the corner
That's where I'm gonna be

I come alive
When the backbeat starts to hit me
Takes me home and feeds my soul

I come alive
And the swing becomes my inspiration
I am revived and my spirit is received

You can say what you want
Ain't nothin' better for the blues
Heaven knows it, baby
Scu ba du ba du dei

See the smile on my face
When I close my eyes and shine
And the world just doesn't matter, no

I come alive
When the backbeat starts to hit me
Takes me home and feeds my soul

I come alive

And the swing becomes my inspiration
I am revived and my spirit is received
