I've been trapped on the electric mile How long can you last when your words come fast And withstand The quicksand of Babaland Gripping on your throat just like the Grim Reaper Dragging you deeper and deeper Filling up your mouth with the sand Now you understand, understand I've been trapped on the electric mile But you can do it Time to stand as a man When the Devils hold your trial Hold light in your hand And in your eyes No comprimise Can be seen Just a glimmer of golden gleam Like false dreams, temptations fade In the rays of the morning Now can't you feel your heart Is soaring when you know You've reached elevations Above and beyond Now help another brother from the mud And carry on Come along with me and seize the day I've been trapped on the electric mile And they try to keep me down And they try to keep me down And they try to keep me down Lo and behold Now the story's told Why the Devils come close To try and steal your soul But keep them wrapped in eleven cloaks At higher hieghts So deep in the light That it's blinding the night And binding together the souls of light Into the tapestries of the gods The colors are rich Blues and greens All of the light That shines between The earth and the sun Will make the Devil run When he's heard you've read these words I've been trapped on the electric mile...
