Mitsubishi Lancer

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
