(Julia) Lyrics to 'Wood' from 'The Elements'



You try to multiply your speed by time to get your distance
But you don’t see the wood for the trees
An experiment with existence
Is showing up anomalies
You see the day dissolve into the morrow
And the slow growing of your second skin
Adrenaline begins in the marrow
And then intoxicates your oxygen

Count one to a hundred and then you are ready to go

What do you know
What do you say
We have an acid chemistry today
What do you get
What do you like
We have a savage energy tonight

I’m not the light outside of the window
I’m not a damsel in distress
I’m not the gold at the end of the rainbow
And I am not a lost princess
Are you my love, my landlord, my lawyer
Are you the one I build my world around
Or are we wrapped in black paranoia
Ready to attack and take each other down

Exactly like Alice in Wonderland now when we grow

What do you know
What do you say
We have an acid chemistry today
What do you get
What do you like
We have a savage energy tonight
What do you say
We have a savage energy today

Oh my dear it’s dark in the dungeon
This is where my demons dwell
A sign says beware of the dragon
But you don’t attend it very well

Who was it who said that it’s better the devil you know

Oh ain’t it so
What do you say
We have an acid chemistry today
What do you get
What do you like
We have a savage energy tonight
What do you say
We have a savage energy today

I so love this song.

It has been the theme to my Myspace page for months, I've posted the official video on my blog, and I quote it often on twitter, in my blog, and in conversation.

Thank you so much for this.

I don't know why this band fell off the ends of the Earth, but this song is incredible. To this day, nine years later, I find my self humming the tune or singing the lyrics.
