Take Another Shape - Electric Six

Of all the places I could be right now

You are the one I’d rather be

For all the faces I’ve seen someone

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 hell-scape

American hell-scape

Without the dolls I came in with

I’ll take another shape

Descend from a great ape

And bless the spades we’ve dug in with

Before anyone can make the first cut

Accept the terms and conditions

It’s such a shame that we can 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 hell-scape

American hell-scape

Without the dolls I came in with

I’ll take another shape

Descend from a great ape

And bless the spades we’ve 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 t’wards

And I shall rock her!

Don’t let me die

I do not seek rewards

The light I’m moving t’wards

It’s visible at night

When you see me on the television

Remember it was my decision

To cut the chord with this light

Take a plastic knife!

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!
