Electric Lover

Electric lover
Were you ever alive?
When your heart was beating
Were you dead on the inside?

Electric lover
I'll know we'll meet again
There are some unnatural sins
Time doesn't forget

It starts with a needle and a thread
Woven into your neck
Holding the bolts, conducting the pulse
Up through your cold, mechanical 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?
Was it my own?

It starts with a needle and a thread
Woven into your neck
Holding the bolts, conducting the pulse
Up through your cold, mechanical 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 (I'll carry on)
Carry on, carry on (carry on in my stead)
Carry on, carry on (carry on, after death)
Carry on, carry on (carry on my work)
Carry on, carry on (until there's nothing left)
Carry on, carry on (carry on in my stead)
Carry on, carry on (carry on, after death)
Carry on, carry on (carry on my work)
Carry on, carry on (until there's nothing left)
