Death by Elektro. Baby you’re killing me.
Death by Elektro. Baby you’re killing me.

I’ve got what you need, but you don’t see it in me,
So I’ll burn all my feelings in my secret room of longing.

Take me take me out tonight. Take me take me out tonight.
Some place I can’t hear myself think.
Take me take me out tonight. Take me take me out tonight.
I don’t want to know what it means.

Death by Elektro. Baby you’re killing me.
Death by Elektro. Baby you’re killing me.

You’ve got what I want, but you won’t give it to me.
So I’ll dance the night away and deny you by the light of day.

Take me take me out tonight. Take me take me out tonight.
Some place I can’t hear myself think.
Take me take me out tonight. Take me take me out tonight.
I don’t want to know what it means.

Death by Elektro. Baby you’re killing me.
Death by Elektro. Baby you’re killing me.

Nothing’s clear under the disco lights. Words are heavy on Saturday night,
And I can’t ask you the one question: “Are you coming home with me?”

We can’t be lovers with these guns on each other.
We can’t be lovers with these guns on each other.

Boy beside me can you see
All of the monsters that I fight to spend the night with you?

We can’t be lovers with these guns on each other.
We can’t be lovers with these guns on each other.

It’s not easy, but count it with me.
And I’ll lay my weapons down on One two three four.

We can’t be lovers with these guns on each other.
We can’t be lovers with these guns on each other.

You won’t see it until it’s too late.
Rolling out of you from some unnamed place.

Love is a Hunter, Love Is a Hunter
Love is a Hunter and it’s coming for you.

I never told you, but it burned me everyday.
I didn’t want to risk my imaginary place.

Love is a Hunter, Love Is a Hunter
Love is a Hunter and it’s coming for you.

So if meaning is nothing then there are oceans of nothing between us
Everyone can see it even if you don’t.

Love is a Hunter, Love Is a Hunter
Love is a Hunter and it’s
Love is a Hunter, Love Is a Hunter
Love is a Hunter and it’s
Love is a Hunter, Love Is a Hunter
Love is a Hunter and it’s coming for you.

I know it’s not right to think of you and say:
“There’s nothing I can do, but get in the way”.

You can dance with the one you came with, or you can come home with me.
You can dance with the one you came with, or you can come home with me.

It’s just not the same for a woman or a man,
But it don’t mean a thing when you touch my hands.

You can dance with the one you came with, or you can come home with me.
You can dance with the one you came with, or you can come home with me.

You know I have left every place I’ve been through.
I can’t change that, but I’d change to leave with you.

Ahh Ahh Ahh

You can dance with the one you came with, or you can come home with me.
You can dance with the one you came with, or you can come home with me.

Let’s walk home together alone.

Rocks came up on me. Next thing I knew.
All of my secrets smashed up on you.
So do me a favor and take a day
To build a lighthouse, so I can stay out of your way.

We don’t know each other when we’re in sight.
I’ll meet you outside when they turn on the lights.
Do me a favor and take a day
To build a lighthouse, so I can find you again.

Rocks came up on me. Next thing I knew.
All of my secrets smashed up on you.
So do me a favor and take a day
To build a lighthouse, so I can stay out of your way.

Baby you like all the parties,
But you won’t find me there.
You won’t find me in the lights.

Cause even when I’m standing in them
The best parts of me are hidden.
I fed them to a monster underground.

And when I leave town.
Not all of me goes.
When I’m looking for the crowds.

Cause even when I’m standing in them
The best parts of me are hidden.
I fed them to a monster underground.

And you’re the only one
who knows the monster’s name
And you’re the only one show cares.

So if I want to feel
More than half alive
I’m going to find you tonight.

Baby you like all the parties,
But you won’t find me there.
You won’t find me in the lights.

Cause even when I’m standing in them
The best parts of me are hidden.
I fed them to a monster underground.

Joan. I love you Joan.
Don’t walk home all alone.

They put on their orange.
They get in their trucks.
They load their shot guns
and drive down to main street.

They look out their windows
like it’s the edge of a highway
and we’re a kind of wild
they don’t understand.

Hunting, Hunting, Hunting.
Hunting both of us.

Joan. I love you Joan.
Don’t walk home all alone.

We’re a kind of wild
they don’t understand
because we’re not obligated to be
a woman or a man.

But we are stronger together.
We won’t hide when we’re hunted.
Let’s walk home holding hands.

Joan. I love you Joan.
Don’t walk home all alone.
Joan. I love you Joan.
Let’s walk home together alone.

danger danger danger
I’ll be your sailor
write it on your body
like we’re out at sea.

danger danger danger
I’ll be your guide.
imaginary lines
between your chest and mine

The Glitter in my eyes
is all I want to see.
Hold each other up
we’re surviving.

danger danger danger
I’ll be your failure.
You can make mistakes
and I won’t turn away.

danger danger danger
I’ll be your gay bar
I’ll yell it in your ear
like we’ve never met.

Glitter in our eyes
from Berlin to Calgary
Hold each other up
Queer’s surviving.

I can’t keep feeding the Monsters.
They’ll take everything I have.
They’ll take every piece of me
In their mouths into the night.

You said that you loved me before I did you wrong.
We took a bus and you slept in my arms.
But then the monsters took my hands and the monsters took my eyes
And the monsters dragged you out of my life.

Me on the ground with my monsters, you in the air with the moon.
Me on the ground with my monsters. You in the air with the moon.
Me on the ground with my monsters. You in the air with the moon.
I wrote you a letter and tied it to a balloon.

Fifty years have gone by.
Looking from balloons show from the sky.
The U-bahn goes right through the wall,
but I’m impassable.

Statues being pulled from the sky,
and the secrets behind your eyes.
Everything was written underground.
I find it hard to trust you now.

Fifty years have gone by.
Looking from balloons show from the sky.
The U-bahn goes right through the wall,
but I’m impassable.

I’ll only follow you for one night.
If you’re going to burn all the bridges
Can I be the light, be the light, be the light?
Be the light, be the light, be the light?

I’m not as fucked up as my life,
But I’m lost without a fight.
How am I going to be the light, be the light, be the light?
Be the light, be the light, be the light?

I could guard you and you could guard me,
But the danger’s within us, so how safe could that be?
We’ll never be the light, be the light, be the light.
Be the light, be the light, be the light.

I’ll only follow you for one night.
If you’re going to burn all the bridges
Can I be the light, be the light, be the light?
Be the light, be the light, be the light?
