There’s an  
Energy tag on my big toe 
“Zapped to death:” it says 
I’m a “John Doe” 
A lightening bolt 
Sent my soul a jolt 
Into the next dimension 
Permanently disabled and 
Unable to be grounded, you see 
Living life on the edge can be fatal 
I don’t even know who I am 
I think I’m fried forever
But I can tale you this 
I still have destiny's will
I’ve felt the power of the gods 
I’m all charged up; that was some vitamin pill
Electricity is 1 + 1 = 1 
Electricity is one by one to freedom 
I feel it deeply in my bones 
In the gap in between gods’ ganglia
Perhaps, I do got stinky bits for brains 
I’m letting go now 
Finally, slipping into oblivion 
I finally remember 
Yes, I remember 
                  who I am.
