The neon lights go flashing by Electric land is in my eyes The underworld is on the move And everybody's got something to prove The taxi driver delivers the news Somebody out there has blown a fuse We're passing the scene a man is dead A thirty eight blew away his head A jolt of lightning set's me back a pace Feel like a visitor from outer space Please excuse me if I don't quite understand I'm just a stranger in electric land Willing to have a good time You live for the moment the moment is fine You're up in your room the lights are low Before you know it's time for the show A jolt of lightning set's me back a pace Feel like a visitor from outer space Please excuse me if I don't quite understand I'm just a stranger in electric land
