Lyrics

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Soft hum over the cloudline

Verse 1

Thames below me turning silver-grey

Tower blocks like tombstones in the fog

They call me monster when I pass their window sills

But I'm just breathing in the damp and the smog

Pre-Chorus

Fingers tight around the bristles

Nights like velvet marble

Wind that tastes like petrol

Who needs a welcome mat at all

Chorus

I'm a witch and I'm alive

Hovering through the ragged London sky

Broomstick cutting through the smoggy tide

I'm a witch and I'm alive

Alive

Alive

Verse 2

Churches point their spires at my back

Old men cross themselves behind the glass

But up here there's no one to hold me back

The grey becomes a blanket made of glass

Pre-Chorus

Cold air stinging at my knuckles

Moonlight cracking through the rubble

Every streetlight seems to double

I don't need no one to pull me through

Chorus

I'm a witch and I'm alive

Hovering through the ragged London sky

Broomstick cutting through the smoggy tide

I'm a witch and I'm alive

Alive

Alive

Bridge

Round and round the city turns below

And I'm the storm that never lands

Every rooftop is a stepping stone

Every raindrop in my hands

Every raindrop in my hands

Chorus

I'm a witch and I'm alive

Hovering through the ragged London sky

Broomstick cutting through the smoggy tide

I'm a witch and I'm alive

Alive

Alive

Outro

Alive

Mm

Alive
