Lyrics Electric Six - Take Another Shape

Of all the places I could be right now
You are the one I’d rather be,
For all the faces that I’ve seen somehow,
Try to attach themselves to me

Now I’m underneath the girl with the teeth,
Brushing hair that isn’t there,
Pull back the sheets,
And I declare –

Don’t let me die in a hellscape,
American hellscape,
Without the dolls I came in with,
I’ll take another shape,
Descend from a great ape
And bless the spades we’re dug in with

Before anyone can make the first cut,
Accept the terms and conditions,
It’s such a shame that we can’t make things up
Because of silly, silly traditions

Now the lady learns that it’s my turn,
As I burn through her millions,
Let me visit her mouth
Before it goes all south

Don’t let me die in a hellscape,
American hellscape,
Without the dolls I came in with,
I’ll take another shape,
Descend from a great ape
And bless the spades we’re dug in with

Prop me up on flimsy boards,
Put me in the helicopter,
I do not seek rewards,
I merely seek the doctor

And let me move towards
The light I’m moving towards,
And I shall rock her!

Don’t let me die!
I do not seek rewards
The light I’m moving towards,
It’s visible at night

When you see me on the television,
Remember, it was my decision
To cut the chord with this life
Using a plastic knife
