Devendra Banhart The Electric Heart Lyrics

The Electric Heart Lyrics

The electric heart shines for you

It's given up sparks

But that's nothing new



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
