Jar of Electricity Lyrics

I found a jar of electricity

Licking the edges of the glass trying to be free

I tried to open the lid but it shocked me

It said I'd rather be safe than happy

I watched a spark turn into a flame

I held my hand to the fire but felt no pain

It said if you let me hold you, you'll never be the same

And so I took a step forward and melted away

And I don't mean to stain

But if you want

You can use my ashes

For your art

I won't blow away

I caught a glimpse of you looking my way

I held it in my pocket for a couple days

It said if you let me hold you, you'll never be same

And so I took a step forward and melted away

And I don't mean to stain

But if you want

You can use my ashes

For your art

And we'll paint a masterpiece

Using both of our names

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey-yeah!
