Electric

Electric shock

E-e-e-electric

E-e-e-electric shock

Currents flow through my body, riding high

Feeling faint and tingling, oh so alive

Enough, enough, your love's too much for me

Very intensely, I can see you care

Like a black hole (yeah), pulling me in (haha)

I can't see the end (yeah), falling down with a thud (oh)

Where am I now? (yeah), keep ringing the bell

Who am I really? (ah-ha), my mind spinning around

The beat is speeding up

My heart's pounding louder and louder

Already beyond my limits

I'm in shock, e-electric shock

(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na) electric

Adjust my voltage, love me more gently

Don't surprise me silently, please

Don't collide, but give me just a little space

Protect me in this changing world

Doctor (yeah), what's going on? (haha)

Breathing hard (yeah), feeling feverish (oh)

Speechless (yeah), ringing in my ears

My eyes are blinding (ah-ha), my mind spinning around

The beat keeps getting faster

My heart beats louder and louder

Beyond my limits again

I'm in shock, e-electric shock

(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na) electric

My energy has captured everything

In your gaze, a fierce laser, laser

Deep inside my heart, a growing synergy

Your endless gage, gage, just keeps rising

The beat keeps getting faster

My heart beats louder and louder

Beyond my limits again
