Electric Lady

[Verse 1]
Got a hum down in the wire, a ghost on the radio
She walks in silent fire, everywhere she wanna go
Sips her whiskey neat, with a rhythm in her feet
Taps a beat in 7/8, seals a poor boy's fate
Got that delta mud in her smile, but her eyes are cold blue steel
Makes you wait a long, long while for a wound you know is real

[Pre-Chorus]
The air gets thin when she's around
A high-pitched, sizzling, feedback sound
Don't you dare go touch the wire
She'll light your very soul on fire... yeah!

[Chorus]
She's the Electric Lady, a high-voltage, crazy kind of thrill
A million-watt baby on a copper-headed hill
She's the shock in the prayer, the static in your stare
She's the Electric Lady, and she's more than you can bear!

[Verse 2]
She talks in minor chords, bends the truth like a guitar string
Her promises are foreign words for the trouble that she'll bring
Saw her dance one night in a flash of neon light
Moved like somethin' syncopated, cool and complicated
Left a trail of broken men, from the city to the coast
And they'd all line up again, just to be her willing ghost

[Pre-Chorus]
The air gets thin when she's around
A high-pitched, sizzling, feedback sound
Don't you dare go touch the wire
She'll light your very soul on fire... go!

[Chorus]
She's the Electric Lady, a high-voltage, crazy kind of thrill
A million-watt baby on a copper-headed hill
She's the shock in the prayer, the static in your stare
She's the Electric Lady, and she's more than you can bear!

[Bridge]
The old men on the porch stop whittlin' when she passes by
They say her heart's a pilot light that never learned to die
It just burns and burns, takin' wild, chromatic turns
Through a scale you've never known, on a throne of steel and bone...

[Guitar & Saxophone Solo]

[Chorus]
She's the Electric Lady, a high-voltage, crazy kind of thrill!
A million-watt baby on a copper-headed hill!
She's the shock in the prayer, the static in your stare!
She's the Electric Lady, and she's more than you can bear!

[Outro]
More than you can bear...
Static in the air...
She's electric...
