The Body Electric Lyrics

Lifeless sharp volts pump hard through my veins
Emotions sucked clean and drained clean from me
This gray horizon fades stark to endless days
Electricity and light pumps life into me...for a while
Strap this mask firm, bolt hard this lightning rod
The storm outside fantastic pumps life into me
Out to the darkened sky, take my hand for a while
Electricity, I'm here, strike down on to me...forever
Swirl and swirl and swirl and swirl and...
I'm on fire, electricity is clean and pure for a while
Is pure for a while...
Strike down on me, hard and clean

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
