Electricity
Rhesus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

oh electricity, between you and me
switching off the city, again and again
and i'm sure you could make it
yeah i'm sure we could make it
oh it's strange how things just seem to
pass away again
i forgot to tell you something
i forgot to tell you something
i forgot to tell you something
oh electricity, between you and me
just me and you
i cannot stop from looking at you pretty baby
cannot stop from looking, pretty baby
i cannot stop from looking at you pretty baby
i cannot stop from looking at you
i forgot to tell you something




i forgot to tell you something
i forgot to tell you something
