The Electric Co. Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Boy, stupid boy
Don't sit at the table
Until you're able to
Toy, broken toy
Shout, shout
You're inside out
[Chorus]
If you don't know
Electric Co.
If you don't know
Electric Co.
[Verse 2]
Red, running red
Play for real
Talk and feel
Holding your head
You won't shout
You're spoon fed
[Chorus]
If you don't know
Electric Co.
If you don't know
Electric Co.
[Bridge]
Two, three, four
I can't stop
Useless is the castle wall
Useless is the metal wall
He's gonna jump
[Chorus]
If you don't know
Electric Co.
If you don't know
Electric Co.
If you don't know
Electric Co.
If you don't know
Electric Co.
If you don't know
Electric Co.
If you don't know
Electric Co.
[Outro]
Till someone leaves him below
He's searched high and low
A tap on the wrist and he'd know
Somebody hear him
Just leave him
I can't find my way home
I'm all alone
I've lost my way home
