Lyrics

Singin' through you to me, thunderbolts caught easily
Shouts the truth peacefully, electricity
High voltage man kisses night to bring the light
To those who need to hide their shadow deed
Go into bright, find the light
And know that friends don’t mind just how you grow
Bearded cowboy stained in black
Reads dark roads without a map
To free-seeking electricity, seeking electricity
Bearded cowboy stained in black
Reads dark roads without a map
To free-seeking electricity, seeking electricity
Lighthouse beacon straight ahead
Straight ahead across black seas to free-seeking electricity
High voltage man kisses night
To bring the light to those who need to hide
Their shadow deed, hide their shadow deed
High voltage man kisses night
To bring the light to those who need to hide
Their shadow deed, hide their shadow deed
Seek electricity, seek electricity, electricity
Seek electricity, seek electricity
Seek electricity, seek electricity, electricity
