Electric Lover

Artist - Coyote Kid


Electric lover, were you ever alive?

When your heart was beating

Were you dead on the inside?


Electric lover, I know we'll meet again

There are some unnatural sins

Time doesn't forget


It starts with a needle and thread

Woven into your neck

Holding the bolts, conducting the pulse

Up through your cold mechanic chest


And then with a little bit of lightning

And a whole lot of luck

We'll start your heart again


Carry on in my stead

Carry on after death

Carry on my work

Until there's nothing left


Electric lover, you were my favorite toy

My little tinker, tailor, soldier boy

Wind you up and leave you


Electric lover, was I always alone?

Was there ever a spark inside your heart?

Or was it my own?


It starts with a needle and thread

Woven into your neck

Holding the bolts, conducting the pulse

Up through your cold mechanic chest


And then with a little bit of lightning

And a whole lot of luck

We'll start your heart again


Carry on in my stead

Carry on after death

Carry on my work

Until there's nothing left


Close my eyes, count backwards from ten

Pull the lever and hope for the best

If you can hear me, I want you to know

That I'm sorry for the pain you must endure


I'll carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on

Carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on

Carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on

Carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on

Carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on

Carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on
