Body Electric Lyrics

I'm gonna sing

My body electric

Way out off of the grid

And I'm gonna move

Way out in the country

Just like my mamma did

She couldn't take her heart

You know it was bound to break

I'm gonna sing my body electric

And keep this heart well-hid

You never know

What's gonna get you

The outside or inside first

So I'll tilt the cup

And drink to the bottom

Still feel I'm dying of thirst

How can I break with fate

A fate that just won't wait?

I'm gonna sing my body electric

And treat it like its worth

Out in the willows

Weeping alone

The bones in the hills

Gonna welcome me home

Out in the forest

Tall black and lack

I know my momma

Gonna welcome me back

Lay your sorrows down

Lay them in the ground

Lay your sorrows

Out in the willows

Weeping alone

The bones in the hills

Gonna welcome me home

Out in the forest

Tall black and lack

I know my momma

Gonna welcome me back

I've blurted out

Too many true feelings

To show my face around

But I've wasted years

On cowardly comrades

Who just want to calm me down

Those that quell their blame

By blowing out your name

I'm gonna sing my body electric

And wake up what's gone tame
