Wye Oak - Electricity lyrics
[Wye Oak - Electricity lyrics]
I live in a foundation steadfast and small
Two sets of legs and I’m two times as tall
When it’s dark I should sleep
I lie in bed think of electricity
It’s been too long since I knew I could say
Lamplight or torchlight is lighting my way
It’s the sun through the trees
Eyes on my back and I know you’re watching me
It’s not made of fire but fire’s the same
Hair standing on end when it’s
Caught in a flame i’m a terrible woman
To be so ashamed of my name
Branches from trees that I kill keep me warm
Light from a match allows shadows to form
Of my legs to my feet
I can’t see your face when
You’re standing over me
Now I feel like my insides
Are carved out of wood
Everything seems to have formed as it should
I should know i should see
You can’t build a house with just electricity
There’s nothing about you that I don’t adore
Show me these rooms
And I’ll show you the way to the door
Walk me through i’ll cut all the wires and
Spend my life with you
Two sets of legs and I’m two times as tall
When it’s dark I should sleep
I lie in bed think of electricity
It’s been too long since I knew I could say
Lamplight or torchlight is lighting my way
It’s the sun through the trees
Eyes on my back and I know you’re watching me
It’s not made of fire but fire’s the same
Hair standing on end when it’s
Caught in a flame i’m a terrible woman
To be so ashamed of my name
Branches from trees that I kill keep me warm
Light from a match allows shadows to form
Of my legs to my feet
I can’t see your face when
You’re standing over me
Now I feel like my insides
Are carved out of wood
Everything seems to have formed as it should
I should know i should see
You can’t build a house with just electricity
There’s nothing about you that I don’t adore
Show me these rooms
And I’ll show you the way to the door
Walk me through i’ll cut all the wires and
Spend my life with you
