You Were Electrified

from in "Love" by The Jet Age

lyrics

Your car is black like oil
and it carries you through the streets
like a snake.
I don't want to alarm you, girl,
but lately you've been keeping me awake.
I have these dreams of you, alone
between cold, cold, cold sheets.
Then I have the same dream,
but this time you're with me.

You're so alive,
you're electrified,
yeah, I'm amazed
when I realize,
as you put your hand
between my thighs,
that you wanted me
the way that I wanted you.

When we first met, you know, I almost came clean.
Said I'd seen you before, you said
you were glad to have been seen.
And when we first spoke
it was half past 10 and
when we kissed it was quarter to two.
Though you went home with your friends
I knew I'd be seeing you soon.

You were so alive,
you were electrified,
yeah, I was amazed
when I realized
as you put you hand between my thighs,
that you wanted me
the way that I wanted you.

(Pitchfork (8.0)) ... more
