Songtext zu 'Feeling Electric' von Next To Normal

DIANA
Ten, nine, eight, seven

DR MADDEN
When the clouds have crowded 'round and covered up the sun

DIANA
Five, SIX!, four

DR MADDEN
When the night has fallen, all your dreams are done (backup: ahh)
I can be the beacon that you seek in every dawn.
I can touch you, I can turn you on (backup: ahh, ahh, ahh)
Feel my fingers lightly on your face.
Each electrode, every wire in place.
Lie right back and let the work begin.
Lay your life down let the light right in.
Only I can reconnect you, only I can make you whole.
Plus the rush will resurrect you,
and the shock will rock you right to your soul.
I'm feelin' electric, I'm feeling fifty thousand volts,
I'm layin' down the lightning in bolts.
I'm feelin' electric, so plug into the power lines,
And baby you'll be feelin' just fine.

NATALIE (spoken)
This is like my favorite song!

HENRY (spoken)
They're all your favorite song, what are you on?

NATALIE (spoken)
Um, Zoloft and Paxil, and one that's, um, purple!

HENRY (spoken)
That's messed up.

NATALIE (spoken)
And Robotussin. Ro-ho!-botussin.

HENRY (spoken)
I think you need to slow down.

NATALIE (spoken)
Psh, no way baby. If I am in it, I am in it to win it! Woo!

HENRY (spoken)
This will not end well.

BACKUP
Watch me burn...

DR MADDEN
Watch me turn the dial, flip the switch. (backup: watch me)
Watch me watch your toes and fingers twitch.
Check the power lines, check the pulse and then (backup: hey, hey, hey)
We'll check the wire and fire it up again. (backup: ahh)
Your head is hot with lighting. (backup: hot)
Your heart is all aflame. (backup: heart is all aflame)
When you wake you'll find it frightening.
But you'll wanna go again all the same.
Yeah, you're feeling electric.
You're ten feet tall and burnin' bright
I see the word and you'll see the light. (backup: you'll see the light)
Feelin' electric (backup: ooh)
The thunder's under my command
I hold the lightning right in my hand.

NATALIE (spoken)
Mom!

DIANA (spoken)
Sweetheart, what are you doing in my electricity?

NATALIE (spoken)
It's always about you, isn't it? I'm robo-tripping! Ah, I can't feel my legs! It's awesome!

DIANA (spoken)
I don't want you doing drugs!

NATALIE (spoken)
That's persuasive, coming from the Pfizer woman of the year!
Hey, what the hell are you doing in MY hallucination. Can't I have anything that's my own?

DIANA (spoken)
It's my treatment, this is a miracle, I've never felt anything like this! Everything's different now.

NATALIE (spoken)
I know what you mean.

DIANA AND NATALIE
Oh, plug me in and turn me on. (backup: plug me in, turn me on, turn me on)
Flip the switch, I'm good as gone. (backup: flip the switch, good as gone)
The music's in my brain (backup: ahh, ahh)
The current's in my veins (backup: ahh, ahh)
I feel it again. (backup: ahh, ahh)

DR MADDEN
Yeah, yeah.
