electricity

it's electric and it shakes you
shudders up and takes you
makes you startle back
static crackle wakes you

it's electric and your teeth clench
a bruised arm drill press vise bench
tasting blood metallic salts
and nervous with a pipe wrench

electricity

it's electric in the ozone city
short control my circuitry
smell the tired insulation
substation instability

electricity ooh
electricity aah

it's electric when the dream starts
jolts and pounds your sweetheart
no sleeping nights for you to find
your mind has blown unfused apart

electricity
