Electricity romps through the elms
And I watch it from this hole like a hound
And all the stories are dancin' to the radio
And I got the world callin' me 'opium' tonight on the phone
And I watch it from this hole like a hound
And all the stories are dancin' to the radio
And I got the world callin' me 'opium' tonight on the phone

Electricity runs through the video
And I watch it from this hole I call home
And all them stonies are dancin' to the radio
And I got the world callin' me up free tonight on the phone
And I watch it from this hole I call home
And all them stonies are dancin' to the radio
And I got the world callin' me up free tonight on the phone

John Mellencamp's, "I Need A Lover"
Misheard Lyrics:
Racing through the human junkyard at night.
I'm so confused my mind is in zero.
Electricity runs through my fingers.
I watch from this hole like a hawk.
I'm so confused my mind is in zero.
Electricity runs through my fingers.
I watch from this hole like a hawk.
Original Lyrics:
Racing through the human jungle at night.
I'm so confused my mind is indifferent.
Electricity runs through the video.
As I watch from this hole I call home
I'm so confused my mind is indifferent.
Electricity runs through the video.
As I watch from this hole I call home
John Mellencamp's, "I Need A Lover"

Well I've been walkin' the streets and doublin' down
Racin' through the human jungle at night
I'm so confused, my mind is in zeroes
Hey - I'm so weak, folks, that I shut off that light!
Racin' through the human jungle at night
I'm so confused, my mind is in zeroes
Hey - I'm so weak, folks, that I shut off that light!
Original Lyrics:
Well I've been walking the streets up and down
Racin' through the human jungle at night
I'm so confused, my mind is indifferent
Hey - I'm so weak, won't somebody shut off that light?
Racin' through the human jungle at night
I'm so confused, my mind is indifferent
Hey - I'm so weak, won't somebody shut off that light?

Some girl that knows the meaning of uh-
Hey, it's a highway!
Well I'm now wiped out by this street life I'm livin'
I'm gonna quit this job, and go to school here back home
And I'm not askin' to need love that people give me
Hey, I just can't face shakin' in this bedroom
Come on down
Hey, it's a highway!
Well I'm now wiped out by this street life I'm livin'
I'm gonna quit this job, and go to school here back home
And I'm not askin' to need love that people give me
Hey, I just can't face shakin' in this bedroom
Come on down

Some girl that knows the meaning of ah-
Hey hit the highway!
Well I'm not wiped out by this poolroom life I'm livin'
I'm gonna quit this job, and go to school, and head back home
And I'm not askin' to be loved or be forgiven
Hey, I just can't face shakin' in this bedroom
One more night alone
Hey hit the highway!
Well I'm not wiped out by this poolroom life I'm livin'
I'm gonna quit this job, and go to school, and head back home
And I'm not askin' to be loved or be forgiven
Hey, I just can't face shakin' in this bedroom
One more night alone
