Electric Mirage

The moon’s hanging low like a burnt-out flame

Stars whisper secrets but they won’t say my name

I got dust in my veins

Got fire in my soul

A tempest inside me

Out of control

I’m an electric mirage

You can’t hold me down

I’m the spark in the storm

I’ll burn this town

Got lightning in my pocket

Thunder in my stride

I’m the shadow that dances where the wild things hide

The river runs backwards when I touch the stream

Reality’s bending like a half-forgotten dream

I don’t need no compass

I know where I stand

With the wind at my back and a guitar in my hand

Every note I play

It’s a howl in the dark

Every chord I strike

It’s a flame

It’s a spark

You can’t catch me

Baby

I’m a ghost on the breeze

I’m the riddle you’ll chase but never appease

I’m an electric mirage

You can’t hold me down

I’m the spark in the storm

I’ll burn this town

Got lightning in my pocket

Thunder in my stride

I’m the shadow that dances where the wild things hide

So if you see me glowing in the dead of the night

Don’t try to follow

I’m a runaway light

I’ll leave you spinning in a psychedelic haze

Lost in the echoes of my untamed blaze
