Singin through you to me
Thunder-bolts caught easily
Shouts the truth peacefully
E-LEC-TRI-CITY
High-voltage man kisses
night to bring the light
to those who need
t’ hide their shadow deed
Go into bright, find
the light and know
that friends don’t mind
just how you grow
Bearded cowboy stains in black
and reads dark roads
without a map
seeking:
electricity, E-LEC-TRI-CITY
Light-house beacon straight
ahead, straight ahead
across blank seas to free
seeking:
electricity, E-LEC-TRI-CITY
High-voltage man kisses
night to bring the light
to those who need
t’ hide their shadow-deed
hide their shadow-deed (repeat)
Seek electricity………..
(1967)
Checked with Herb Bermann’s original lyric sheet
It is “bearded cowboy,” not “midnight cowboy”
Yes, quite right. It’s been corrected.
