about

I used to work in an office that was down a hallway that had three doors - Electric, Telephone, and Women, in that order. I pretty much had to write the song after that. No real meaning to it to lose sleep over.

lyrics

Who's that sneakin' round the corner?
Who's that hiding under my bed?
Stay away, tried to warn her
Gotta get that devil woman outta my head
I'm ridin' the rotisserie, checkin' out the view
Don't remember how I got here, I ain't got a clue
Smoke is blowing 'round my head, there's fire in the hole
Some Electric Telephone Woman's got a headlock on my soul

Who's that creepin' through the alley?
Who's that hiding behind the tree?
Under mountains, over valleys
If I close my eyes then I won't have to see
Vultures and the vampires, they're fightin' over me
I'm having second thoughts about immortality
I haven't won a point in years but I think I'm on a roll
That Electric Telephone Woman's got a headlock on my soul

Voices in my head gettin' clearer
But I'm not sure what they want me to do
Who's that face there in my mirror
Doesn't look like me it looks a lot like you
Where the hell'd this tattoo come from, who the hell's "Divine"?
It won't wash off with alcohol, better try some turpentine
I gave my list to Santa but my stocking's full of coal
Electric Telephone Woman's got a headlock on my soul

Who's that sneakin' round the corner?
Who's that hiding out in my head?
Stay away, tried to warn her
Gotta get that devil woman into my bed
Careful with that razor, son, don't do nothing rash
Keep your eyes there on the road, we surely don't want to crash
This running with the pitbulls is starting to take its toll
That Electric Telephone Woman's put a headlock on my soul

Zapruder caught her hanging round behind that grassy knoll
I tried to keep it under wraps, but I think I lost control
I'm willing to buy back from her all my things she stole
That Electric Telephone Woman's got a headlock on my soul
