Electricity Wye Oak

[Verse 1]
I live in a foundation steadfast and small
Two sets of legs and I’m two times as tall
When it’s dark I should sleep
I lie in bed think of electricity

[Verse 2]
It’s been too long since I knew I could say
Lamplight or torchlight is lighting my way
It’s the sun through the trees
Eyes on my back and I know you’re watching me

[Bridge]
It’s not made of fire but fire’s the same
Hair standing on end when it’s caught in a flame
I’m a terrible woman
To be so ashamed of my name

[Verse 3]
Branches from trees that I kill keep me warm
Light from a match allows shadows to form
Of my legs to my feet
I can’t see your face when you’re standing over me

[Verse 4]
Now I feel like my insides are carved out of wood
Everything seems to have formed as it should
I should know
I should see
You can’t build a house with just electricity
