Electric Friends

i was burned out staring at my face
it was getting late
and all the souls had gone from this place
the valley was yours
and i was trying hard to find my space
but there’s no doubt that i still feel strange
i saw a lightning bolt jolt above your head
into a watery ledge
and you jumped on in after it
it had shocked you before
sure as hell is gonna shock you again
but you’ll be fine with your electric friends
still i can’t understand your deal with your electric friends
cause i knew you before them and i and can’t seem to comprehend when say that
they’ve got so much more to give
all our clothes were drying hanging on the line
between your house and mine
we stood there in the alley for some time
i was staring at you only praying your were staring back at me
wishing i could star in your electric dreams
still i can’t understand your deal with your electric friends
cause i knew you before them and i and can’t seem to comprehend when say that
they’ve got so much more to give
and i hope it lasts cause i can’t stand it
you’re waving goodbye your electric friends consume your mind
while i’m right here in your electric life
