Elton John
"Electricity"

(Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Lee Hall
Recorded for the musical "Billy Elliot")

I can't really explain it
I haven't got the words
It's a feeling that you can't control
I suppose it's like forgetting
losing who you are
and at the same time
something makes you whole

It's like the bells and music
playing in your ear
and I'm listening
and I'm listening
and then I disappear

And then I feel a change
like a fire deep inside
something burst in me wide open
impossible to hide
and suddenly I'm flying
flying like a bird

like Electricity
Electricity
sparks inside of me
and I'm free
I'm free

It's a bit like being angry
It's a bit like being scared
confused and all mixed up
and mad as hell
It's like when you've been crying
and you're empty and you're full
I don't know what it is
It's hard to tell

It's like that there's some music
playing in your ear
but the music is impossible
impossible to hear
but then I feel it move me
like a burning deep inside

Something burst in me wide open
impossible to hide
and suddenly I'm flying
flying like a bird

like Electricity
Electricity sparks inside of me
and I'm free
I'm free
Electricity sparks inside of me
and I'm free
I'm free
oh, I'm free
