Sit right next to me: Electricity
There is something in me I cannot control
Hold it in my hands, nothing seems to last
Gotta be broken to break these things so fast
All these patterns now: circles, squares and hours
Everyday I come back to the same old flower
Hey! Hey! Mr. Brain, slow down heart of pain
Running in circles and I ignore the sprain
Take my electric veins in the palm of your hand
You say if somebody is listening, nobody understands
Take my electric veins if you think you can
Try to explain I feel more alien than man
When I was a child, I ran through the wild
Zapping with my fingers every demon I saw
All this energy flows too quickly
I can't help it I can't sell it but I'll dwell on it more
Take my electric veins in the palm of your hand
You say if somebody is listening, nobody understands
Take my electric veins if you think you can
Try to explain I feel more alien than man
Somethings always missing, I never think anything's whole
So I try to ignore the weather and I try to control my soul
Cuz it seems to me these things obscene are more than just my dreams unseen
But now I realize the way I dream is obsessing over everything
Take my electric veins in the palm of your hand
You say if somebody is listening, nobody understands
Take my electric veins if you think you can
I feel the current pulsing quickly to the rhythm of the band
Take my electric veins in the palm of your hand
You say you don't know what's happening but someone understands
Take my electric veins if you think you can
Try to explain I feel more alien than man
