I've Never Felt More Alive

Coming home after a long hard day, to a fading family
Where solidarity and support, became a social tragedy
What is this ever-growing coldness that divides the ununited?
What is this ever-spreading suspicion that rejects the uninvited?

Why must it be so hard to fight for the values that are good and right?
Why must it be so hard to fight the gnawing feeling that keeps you awake at night?
Why must it be so hard to keep these thoughts from haunting me every single day?
For only when the night-life comes am I able to sweep these images away

Chorus
Yesterday I thought that I'd never ever
Find a way to keep it up and somehow stay alive
Yesterday my life seemed dead and buried forever
Today I've never felt more alive

The evening's full of chilly feelings, our hearts turn on the cold?
The night is full of nothing but nothing, cos our dreams have grown too old?
Where is the passion from our youth, that used to embody our love?
Is the hunger gifted for the younger, by some unfair God above?

The world's full of all these broken vows, and meaningless kisses
So when people can't please all their needs, they go out for what their life misses
But where is this world heading, when certain men won't spare an innocent child?
What could it be that make them lose all sense, so that their dirty minds run wild?

Why must it be so hard to fight the devastating demon that eats them up inside?
Why must it be so hard to find a place in their hearts where they can shelter and hide?
Why must it be so hard to keep these thoughts from haunting me every single day
For only when the night-life comes am I able to sweep these images away

Chorus
Yesterday I thought that I'd never ever
Find a way to keep it up and somehow stay alive
Yesterday my life seemed dead and buried forever
Today I've never felt more alive

Tonight when the bars open up another glorious night out begins
An endless army of hunting boys and yearning girls who give in
Friends from long ago come together to celebrate the glory of the past
When everything else in the world quickly fades, these moments will always last (Moments will always last)

Tonight when the bars close down you can feel the excitement in the air
And one-night stands dare to follow to the pits of the dragon's lair
Some have spent a lifetime down on the streets of heat of endless pleasure and fun
For others it's the first time around, and their joy has merely begun (Joy has) merely begun

Chorus
Yesterday I thought that I'd never ever
Find a way to keep it up and somehow stay alive
Yesterday my life seemed dead and buried forever
Today I've never felt more alive

Additional chorus
Yesterday I thought I'd gotten so much lower
Than anyone could ever rise from and start to thrive
Yesterday my life seemed lost and finally over
Today I've never felt more alive

Chorus
Yesterday I thought that I'd never ever
Find a way to keep it up and somehow stay alive
Yesterday my life seemed dead and buried forever
Today I've never felt more alive

(Repeat)
