Electric Heart Lyrics
The electric heart
Shines for you
It's giving off sparks
But that's nothing new
The electric heart
Spins it's lightning web
The spider's sparkle
Lights the way ahead
I eat the biscuts
A gift from her
I eat the fishes
They got no fur
The open road
Of God's final town
I'll take a little sip
From its honey drip
The earth-hurt skies
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 shown
'Cause though they're tiny
They're valuable
Now I've lost my nails
But that's nothing new
And goddamn thumbs
Thumbs, goddamn you
And if all else fails
To win the race
Then someone else for sure
Will take my place
Now flung from dreams
Your voice reappears
And it almost seems
Like you're almost here
Singing an ancient chant
That spreads its dusty legs
And I'm coming in
In my head
Electric heart
Shine for us
Shiny love
Shiny love
Shiny love
Shiny love
Shiny love
Shiny love
Shiny love
Shines for you
It's giving off sparks
But that's nothing new
The electric heart
Spins it's lightning web
The spider's sparkle
Lights the way ahead
I eat the biscuts
A gift from her
I eat the fishes
They got no fur
The open road
Of God's final town
I'll take a little sip
From its honey drip
The earth-hurt skies
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 shown
'Cause though they're tiny
They're valuable
Now I've lost my nails
But that's nothing new
And goddamn thumbs
Thumbs, goddamn you
And if all else fails
To win the race
Then someone else for sure
Will take my place
Now flung from dreams
Your voice reappears
And it almost seems
Like you're almost here
Singing an ancient chant
That spreads its dusty legs
And I'm coming in
In my head
Electric heart
Shine for us
Shiny love
Shiny love
Shiny love
Shiny love
Shiny love
Shiny love
Shiny love

It seems every time I listen to this song I turn it up louder and louder, aside from the fact that it’s brilliant this song just blows my mind. I will never hear any music like his, like I said it’s what I hear.
devendra banhart's lyrics are really good. they have such a strange appeal. their music is even better.
i absolutely love devendra and love his lyrics. they are so non-sensical and there is achild-like quality that I cherish about them.
i was wondering if anyone thought the lines "the earth was dry until you came" could be sexual because the next lines is talking about having a baby. or is that just obscure?
