Lyrics
We are Electric
1
Don't do it now you can it later
Maybe you could save a little bit of energy
You could do something that really mattered
You could do something that could make them see
I don't want to hear that same old thing
When I hear it in the silence its deafening
Oh - see how you could be beautiful
Oh - see how you could be understood
Chorus
With the world outside
Yeah its got me thinking
If I'm going out I can always leave my light on
And the world inside
Am I feeling or thinking?
If I'm going in I can always find my light on
As my worlds go by
I'm not gonna be sinking
Cos you lift me into the bluest sky
Take a chance we can dance I can feel I can understand
We are electric and this is our moment to shine
2
I wanna move her I don't ever wanna shake her
Gonna do it all just to keep her close to me
What will you have to say when you you meet your maker
That you knew all possibilities?
Did you stand in the sun when you needed shade?
Did you ever try to listen in another sense?
Did you get in touch with something that's deep inside?
Did you ever really find your present tense?
Bridge
We are all survivors of some cosmic accident
Could we then just be greatful we are not among the dead?
