Electricity

The minus is loveless
He talks to the land
And the leaves fall
And the pond over-ices
She dont know the system, plus
She dont understand
Shes got all the wrong fuses and splices
Shes not going to fix it up
Too easy
The masking tape tangles
Its sticky and black
And the copper
Proud headed queen lizzie
Conducts little charges
That dont get charged back
Well the technical manuals busy
Shes not going to fix it up too easy
And she holds out her flashlight
And she shines it on me
She wants me to tell her
What the trouble might be
Well Im learning
Its peaceful
With a good dog and some trees
Out of touch with the breakdown
Of this century
Theyre not going to fix it up
Too easy
We once loved-together
And we floodlit that time
Input-output-electricity
But the lines overloaded
And the sparks started flying
And the loose wires
Were lashing out at me
Shes not going to fix that up
Too easy
But she holds out her candle
And she shines it in
And she begs him to show her
How to fix it again
While the song that he sang her
To soothe her to sleep
Runs all through her circuits
Like a heartbeat
Shes not going to fix it up
Too easy

song performed by Joni Mitchell
