Father Electricity
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They call my name, locks and keys
Lightening every drop
We're tricked again, lost at sea
When we finally gonna climb your tree, I know it's hard to see oh!
I wanna believe what you're saying
But I'm seeing the game that you're playing
Oh I kn-kn-kn-kn-kn-kn-kn-know
What I'm gonna d-d-d-d-d-do
Kn-kn-kn-kn-kn-kn-kn-know what I'm gonna d-d-d-d-d-do
Oh no I meant
I'm at the wrong place at the wrong time
They're attracting all the wrong people to the wrong line
I do not want to see no mess
I wish I could live in retrospect
Five steps
Remember them well
Coming down, down the well
You drop 500 tons of hell
You are everything I see to
Every time I am in despair
Who is he by the wheel?
They fight for every meal?
Who makes the better deal?
You?
We'll find you dried out [?]
We'll find him dying [?]
Wait, wait
Don't, don't want it
Don't, don't want it
Oh man
What are we doing now?
All I know are instincts
You are everything I see to
Every time I am in despair
Lock the door and hide the keys
And wake the dog to bite the priest
Bonding of the electricity oh
I'll wait for you you you in the second life
Who is he by the wheel?
Who makes the better deal?
Who wants to have to feel?
Who?
You are everything I see
Every time I beg in despair
I will take what I can grab
But I, I don't want your money back
What else can I say?
What else can I sing?
What else can I say, tonight?
