Through the cables and the underground now The faceless breathless calls This is Babel, sensurround now This place is death with walls This place is death with walls This place is death with walls This place is death with walls
Too much contact, no more feeling The Sound around them all Acid on the floor so she walk on the ceiling And the body electric flashes on the bathroom wall And the body electric flashes on the bathroom wall
Crawling to the corners where the idiot children call See the body flashing on the bathroom wall _________ This song is apparently about the Bar Phono club in Leeds, formerly Le Phonographique. It's a famous "goth" venue, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that Eldritch would deride it.
The title is taken from Walt Whitman's poem I Sing The Body Electric: http://www.bartleby.com/142/19.html
