[Synth swells, drum machine kicks in—funky, hypnotic, with a touch of psychedelic glitter. Prince-like voice slinks in, half-sung, half-spoken, dripping with swagger and mystique.] [Intro] Midnight on the boulevard Neon bleeding through the rain Radio whispers from a parked car Calling out my name I got a six-string on my shoulder And a voltage in my veins Tonight we're gonna turn the city on And never sleep again [Verse 1] She came walking through the blue light Silver jacket, cherry shoes Had a look that said, "Come closer" Like she already knew She said, "Baby, what's your frequency?" I said, "Anything you choose" She laughed and pulled me through the doorway Where the floor began to move [Pre-Chorus] There's a spark between us Can't you feel it rise? Like a wire in a thunderstorm Dancing in the night [Chorus] We're having electric dreams Electric dreams tonight We're living on a laser beam Burning up the night No, we don't need tomorrow When the future feels this right We're having electric dreams Electric dreams tonight [Verse 2] Synthesizers in the corner Bass is shaking every wall Everybody's talking louder But we don't hear them at all Her fingertips are lightning Mine are looking for the switch One touch and the whole room flashes One touch and that's it [Verse 3] There's a moon above the rooftops There's a siren down the street There's a thousand little satellites Keeping time with the beat She says, "Tell me something honest" I say, "Girl, I need you near" She says, "Honesty is dangerous" Then she whispers in my ear [Pre-Chorus] There's a spark between us Can't you feel it rise? Like a wire in a thunderstorm Dancing in the night [Chorus] We're having electric dreams Electric dreams tonight We're living on a laser beam Burning up the night No, we don't need tomorrow When the future feels this right We're having electric dreams Electric dreams tonight [Instrumental Break] Electric guitar riff Synthesizer solo Drums build [Verse 4] Maybe love is just a signal Traveling from heart to heart Maybe we're a pair of strangers Who were programmed from the start Maybe we're just making trouble Maybe trouble's what we need If the world is going crazy Let it go and follow me [Verse 5] Take me past the midnight traffic Take me where the buildings glow Take me somewhere no one's asking Where we're supposed to go We can dance until the sunrise We can disappear from sight We can write our names in neon On the underside of night [Bridge] Don't turn it off Don't turn it down Let the current run All through this town Don't turn it off Don't let it fade We got a little bit of heaven In the plans we never made [Verse 6] Morning's waiting at the window But we're not ready for the day The sky is turning pale and silver Still, she says, "Don't walk away" There's a question in her eyes now There's an answer in mine Some dreams only last a second Some dreams last all night [Breakdown] Electric... Electric... Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Electric... Electric... Through your body Through your soul... [Verse 7] She puts her hand against my heartbeat Says, "It's moving much too fast" I say, "Maybe that's the secret Maybe nothing good can last" She says, "Then don't waste another second" And she pulls me into the light We disappear into the sunrise Like two sparks into the night [Final Chorus] We're having electric dreams Electric dreams tonight We're living on a laser beam Burning up the night No, we don't need tomorrow When the future feels this right We're having electric dreams Electric dreams tonight [Outro] Electric dreams... Running through the wires Electric dreams... Taking us higher Electric dreams... Till the morning comes Electric dreams... And the night is never done Electric dreams... Electric dreams... Electric dreams... [Fade out]
