[Riff 1 and 2]
And all I see is little dots
[Riff 1 and 2]
Some are smeared and some are spots
[Riff 3]
Feels like a murder but that's alright
[Riff 1 and 2]
[Riff 1 and 2]
Somebody said there's too much light
[Riff 1 and 2]
Pull down the shade and it's alright
[Riff 3]
It'll be over in a minute or two.
[Riff 1 and 2]

[Riff 4]
I'm charged up...don't put me down
Don't feel like talking...don't mess around
I feel mean...I feel o.k.
I'm charged up...electricity

[Riff 1 and 2]
The boys are making a big mess
[Riff 1 and 2]
This makes the girls all start to laugh
[Riff 3]
I don't know what they're talking about
[Riff 1 and 2]
[Riff 1 and 2]
The boys are worried, the girls are shocked
[Riff 1 and 2]
They pick the sound and let it drop
[Riff 3]
Nobody knows what they're talking about
[Riff 1 and 2]

[Riff 4]
I'm charged up...I'm kinda wooden
I'm barely moving...I study motion
I study myself...I fooled myself
I'm charged up...it's pretty intense.
[Riff 4]
I'm charged up...don't put me down
Don't feel like talking...don't mess around
I feel mean...I feel o.k.
I'm charged up...electricity...That's what I call it
