[Intro] (clean electric guitar with slow tremolo, distant thunder, soft bass drones) [Verse 1] I saw a silver raven Sleeping on a traffic light While the city kept on bleeding Little diamonds through the night And the moon wore cracked mascara Like a runaway backstage queen She whispered through the static “You ain’t living in between” (light cymbal swell, blues guitar response phrases) [Pre-Chorus] And my shadow started drifting Down an alley made of flame Every face became a mirror Every mirror knew my name [Chorus] (heavier drums enter, wide guitar chords, vocal doubles) I’m an electric river child Running through the neon rain Trying to catch a broken thunder Before it disappears again Oh let the midnight wires sing Let the sky unravel wild I was born inside the fire An electric river child [Verse 2] Purple dust upon the windows Radio crying low and strange Somebody’s revolution Got lost somewhere in the change And a barefoot girl was dancing With a storm cloud in her hair She said “Freedom ain’t a highway It’s the silence in the air” (wah guitar improvisation) [Bridge] (tempo loosens slightly, psychedelic atmosphere expands) Fly me through the liquid darkness Past the satellites and kings Where the ghosts of burned-out dreamers Still got lightning in their wings (guitar solo — emotional, fluid, explosive bends, feedback tails) [Final Chorus] (full intensity, layered vocals, crashing cymbals) I’m an electric river child Howling at the falling stars Trying to steal a little heaven From this world of rusted hearts Let the whole night shake and shiver Let the blue horizon burn Every soul becomes a wildfire When the wheels of heaven turn [Outro] (long fading guitar solo, amp hum, distant thunder returns)
