lyrics

YOU KNOW YOU’RE ELECTRIC
YOUR PULSE KEEPS MY PACEMAKER GOING JUST FINE
WE RUN DIAMETRIC
WITH EQUAL AND OPPOSITE CHARGE THROUGH THE LINE

YOU RUN THE GRID HONEY HEAVEN FORBID
WE CAN’T GET IT ONLINE
YOU CAN ALWAYS RE-ROUTE MY CIRCUITS
YOU KNOW IT’S A VICTIMLESS CRIME

MY SYSTEM IS SPASTIC
YOU MIGHT HAVE THE GROUNDING TO KEEP ME ALIVE
YOU’RE BRIGHT AND BOMBASTIC
YOU MAKE ALL THESE SPARKS FLY AND STILL I SURVIVE

YOU’RE HOT TO THE TOUCH AND AS SUCH BABY
I OVERHEAT ALL THE TIME
YOU CAN ALWAYS SHOOT ME MORE STATIC
YOU KNOW THAT’S A PAIN I DON’T MIND

ELECTROCUTE MY HEART BABE
LOVE CAN’T SAVE MY SOUL
THESE KINDS OF TREATMENTS TAKE THEIR TIME
AND TAKE THEIR TOLL
BATTERY BLAST UPON MY TONGUE AND IN MY MIND
I’M STILL NOT CONVINCED THAT I’LL EVER BE FINE

OUR WIRES ARE WASTED
THEY SIZZLE AND SNAP WHEN THE SWITCH IS SUPPLIED
THE CHARGE IS INVASIVE
IT WON’T BE A SHOCK WHEN THEY SEE HOW I DIED

RED VERSUS BLUE WILL MAKE PROBLEMS FOR YOU
EVERY TIME THEY ENTWINE
YOU CAN WATCH ME GRAB BOTH AND GRIT
AS I SEIZE AND I SPIT
WHILE THE VOLTAGE CASCADES
AND THE LIGHTNING PERVADES
AS MY SKIN STARTS TO BURN
AND MY BRAIN TAKES A TURN
WHILE I CRACKLE INSIDE
WITH MY MOUTH OPEN WIDE
YOU CAN BET I’LL BE STIFF AS A STONE
WHEN THE SOCKETS ARE FRIED
