Electric Heart

The electric heart Shines for you It's giving off sparks But that's nothing new The electric heart Spins it's lightning web The spider's sparkle Lights the way ahead I eat the biscuts A gift from her I eat the fishes They got no fur The open road Of God's final town I'll take a little sip From its honey drip The earth-hurt skies Say your name The earth was dry Until you came A little baby begins to grow A happy belly begins to glow The electric sky Combing in the snow He's always high He's a gentle soul My winter friends With Christmas legs And cold, cold beards And frozen heads We keep them shiny We keep them shown 'Cause though they're tiny They're valuable Now I've lost my nails But that's nothing new And goddamn thumbs Thumbs, goddamn you And if all else fails To win the race Then someone else for sure Will take my place Now flung from dreams Your voice reappears And it almost seems Like you're almost here Singing an ancient chant That spreads its dusty legs And I'm coming in In my head Electric heart Shine for us Shiny love Shiny love Shiny love Shiny love Shiny love Shiny love Shiny love --- Electric Heart - Devendra Banhart
