Neon light in our shapes tonight In a star lying waste to dark Take me out Take me home Make it home We’ll slay you silently energy cannibal Make it home Kill energy cannibal Make it home home home How we gonna make it Make it home Neon light take me home Make it home We’ll slay you silently energy cannibal Make it home energy cannibal Let’s paint a picture in time back then when you were just mine was on you like a disease You had me down on my… Rooftops and telephone boxes And back of the shops and then we’re running and running and then we’re making it In the back of the car you said you’d love me just fine Or was it all in my head So pyrotechnical We’re speeding under the ground and on the BQE

Stand outside if you need some air I ain’t gonna let you fall Your loads heavy and sometimes we need someone to lean on I need you just like you need me your blood runs through my blood Nothing wrong with just leaning on someone you believe in It don’t matter who you think you are or who you ought to be We’re just two individuals with someone to lean on Time is healing and time is tough I feel it right in my bones Let’s just stand in the world with love someone to believe in When the lights come on will I ever be the same again Maintain appearance Stand outside if you need some air I ain’t gonna let you fall Your loads heavy and sometimes we need someone to lean on I need you just like you need me your blood runs through my blood Nothing wrong with just leaning on someone you believe in It don’t matter who you think you are or who you ought to be We’re just two individuals with someone to lean on Time is healing and time is tough I feel it right in my bones Let’s just stand in the world with love someone to believe in Your mind goes back to Saturday morning cartoons And every single mundane and magical moment in this here life The sun rises different from the sunset from just before It speaks in ripples a multitude of molten language Stand outside if you need some air I ain’t gonna let you fall Your loads heavy and sometimes we need someone to lean on I need you just like you need me your blood runs through my blood Nothing wrong with just leaning on someone you believe in It don’t matter who you think you are or who you ought to be We’re just two individuals with someone to lean on Time is healing and time is tough I feel it right in my bones Let’s just stand in the world with love someone to believe in Maintain appearance It don’t matter who you think you are or who you ought to be We’re just two individuals with someone to lean on

Don’t call on me And I won’t call on you Don’t call on me Ohhh And we can let oceans separate our lives I’m feeling no emotions even though I cried Don’t fall on me And I won’t fall on you Don’t fall on me Drift away And we can let oceans separate our lives I’m feeling no emotions even though I cried Oh I don’t wanna go I don’t wanna go around again Round and round and round and round and round

Lying on the grass by the lake It’s the thought that you can’t shake No you can’t shake And you think of all the things that you’ve done And you live it all again and you wonder where you went wrong? Sadness is a sickness inside of you Your heart is in your throat and you can hardly see There’s something in you that I can see in me And you wish it were just all a dream but it’s true you used to have her You used to have her you really used to have her And now she’s gone you really used to have her once Yeah you really used to have her you really used to have her once And now you see her walking in the street and it’s the same street where you used to meet Yeah you used to have her you really used to have her once Sadness is a sickness inside of you Your heart is in your throat and you can hardly see There’s something in you that I can see in me And you wish it were just all a dream but it’s true you used to have her You used to have her you really used to have her Well now she’s gone you really used to have her once Yeah you really used to have her you really used to have her once And now you see her walking in the street and it’s the same street where you used to meet Yeah you used to have her you really used to have her once Well you see her when you’re sleeping And you see her when you wake The days roll into night and it’s the darkness you can’t take And every single second feels like hours of pure pain And then the anger comes and then you do it all again You see her when you’re sleeping And you see her when you wake The days roll into night and it’s the darkness you can’t take And every single second feels like hours of pure pain But it’s true you used to have her

Ooh oh and they all lead down to you When I sleep inside the dreams to be played Oh joy the hour’s in my hands I am beyond the time there is no time with you boy Wonderful lush and true It’s clear to me a lucid dream of you boy Oh Swallows fly high and swallows fly low When I feel the pressure building up in you boy Oh in an electric union your body next to mine Your body next to mine In an expanse of color and all velocity Oh in an electric union your body next to mine Your body next to mine In an expanse of color and all velocity baby

He’s such a gentleman talks like a gentleman But he’s the builder architect the universe I know he’s calling me he wraps himself around me The hero in a picture show He’s speeding on the grid making reality He’s shifting minds in lines with what he knows Telling a story now over and over again Till the tale becomes real Those from the heavens come in shooting stars above Build me a launching pad so I can go Up in the atmosphere where all the air is clear And nothing’s holding on to me Mother of mystery Isis of history Weaving your magic light up through your son I know he’s calling me he wraps himself around me The hero in a picture show And there upon I saw the whole round of the earth The whole round of the earth And at once the depth of the earth and vast altitude of the heavens And at once the depth of the earth and vast altitude of the heavens And at once the depth of the earth and vast altitude of the heavens And at once the depth of the earth and vast altitude of the heavens

There seems to be A tilt in the way Fate brings us two Magnetic like fireballs colliding two colliding two colliding two Take me devotion Your lips in motion We open everything If I awake and forget the tingle your hand in mine kinetic energy colliding two anything we want we do you and me and me and you colliding two colliding two colliding two

about

Niko’s Electric Union is a late-night, electrasonic long player out on ATIC Records. The all new third album from the Seattle born singer sees her pursuing a more focussed dance lounge sound where delicate melodies and accomplished song writing marry with tuff, unpolished beats, gritty synth bass and layers of abstract keyboards. Drawing from a pot of jazz, soul, underground house, breakbeat and electro pop, a lot of ground is covered by Electric Union’s nine songs with Niko lamenting a love lost in ‘You Used To Have Her’ over a heavy rave breakbeat before getting all Sade on the album’s title track. The only cover on the album is Niko’s lush take on the previously unreleased ‘I Love TV’ whose writers include Alex Miller of The Upper Room and Neil Barnes of Leftfield. Electric Union was produced and mixed by Aim (Cold Water Music, Hinterland) at his own Speed Limit facility where he also made the brews and chipped in a bit here and there with song writing.
