Come alive  Surrender to the blinding lights

Come alive  Surrender to the blinding lights

No one's gonna sleep tonight  Welcome to the riot

I'm the bangarang

Bangaranga bangaranga 

Bangaranga I'm the bangarang 

Bangaranga bangaranga Bangaranga, I'm the bangarang 

Blinding lights Welcome to the riot

I'm the bangaranga

I'm the bangaranga

I’m an angel I’m a demon 

I’m a psycho For no reason 

I'm a mover I'm a teaser 

I don’t follow I’m the leader 

Lemme Hype ya, hype ya up 

Lemme hype ya up Imma imma 

Let you get so hooked Imma leave you shook

Come alive Surrender  

to the blinding lights No one's gonna sleep tonight 

Welcome to the riot I'm the bangarang

Bangaranga bangaranga Bangaranga 

I'm the bangarang Bangaranga bangaranga 

Bangaranga, I'm the bangarang 

Blinding lights Welcome to the riot

Close to the edge I can feel it inside Bodies on bodies and sparks 'bout to fly 

I'm (oh, I'm) about to lose my mind (mind)

I'm the bangarang Bangaranga bangaranga, bangaranga 

I'm the bangarang Bangaranga bangaranga 

Bangaranga, I'm the bangarang 

Blinding lights Welcome to the riot

I’m a rebel, I’m a danger 

I’m a mover, For a freedom 

Let me light you, light you up Let me light you up 

Come on, let me pull you in so deep I am gone leave you weak

(I'm the bangarang) 

(I'm the bangarang)

(I'm the bangarang)
