The electric heart shines for you
It's given up sparks
But that's nothing new
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/d/devendra-banhart/57680.html ]
The electric heart
Spins its lightning web
The spider sparkle lights the way ahead
I eat the biscuits, a gift for her
I eat the fishes, they got no fur
The open road
Oh God's final town
I'll take a little sip from its high drip
The earth hurts sky 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 shone
Cuz though they're tiny, they're valuable
I've lost my nails
But that's nothing new
And goddamn thumbs
Thumbs, goddamn you
And if all else fails
As all else do
There's someone else for sure will take my place
Now flung from dreams your voice reappears
And it almost sings like you're almost here
Singing an ancient chant, spreads his dusty lens
And I'm coming in in my head
Electric heart sang for us
Shining love

Good Luck
