Electricity

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Verse 5] 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
