Body Electric

Elvis is my daddy, Marilyn's my mother

Jesus is my bestest friend

We don't need nobody, 'cause we got each other

Or at least I pretend



We get down every Friday night

Dancin' and grindin' in the pale moonlight

Grand old opry

We're feelin' all right

Mary prays the rosary for my broken mind



I sing the body electric

I sing the body electric, baby

I sing the body electric

I sing the body electric

Sing the body electric

Sing the body electric

I'm on fire, baby, I'm on fire



Whitman is my daddy, Monaco's my mother

Diamonds are my bestest friend

Heaven is my baby, suicide's her father

Opulence is the end



We get down every Friday night

Dancin' and grindin' in the pale moonlight

Grand old opry

We're feelin' all right

Mary prays the rosary for my broken mind



I sing the body electric

I sing the body electric, baby

I sing the body electric

I sing the body electric

Sing the body electric

Sing the body electric

I'm on fire, sing the body electric



My clothes still smell like you

And all the photographs say you're still young

I pretend I'm not hurt

And go about the world like I'm havin' fun



We get crazy every Friday night

Drop it like it's hot in the pale moonlight

Grand old opry

Feelin' all right

Mary's swayin' softly to her heart's delight



I sing the body electric

I sing the body electric, baby

I sing the body electric

I sing the body electric

Sing the body electric

Sing the body electric

I'm on fire, sing the body electric



I sing the body electric, baby

I sing the body electric, baby

I sing the body electric, baby
