The neon lights go flashing by

electric land is in my eyes

the underworld is on the move

and everybody's got something to prove



the taxi driver delivers the news

somebody out there has blown a fuse

we're passing the scene a man is dead

a thirty eight blew away his head



a jolt of lightning set's me back a pace

feel like a visitor from outer space

please excuse me if I don't quite understand

I'm just a stranger in electric land



willing to have a good time

you live for the moment the moment is fine

you're up in your room the lights are low

before you know it's time for the show



a jolt of lightning set's me back a pace

feel like a visitor from outer space

please excuse me if I don't quite understand

I'm just a stranger in electric land
