"(We Were) Electrocute" is a song by Type O Negative, included on their sixth album Life Is Killing Me, released in 2003. It features 60s Beatles-like psychedelia with keyboards. The static noise from the speakers is heard in the very beginning of this track, while static noise from the microphone is heard at the very end. The lyrics reflects on how Peter felt stunned from being separated from his girlfriend, and how they would attract the interest of passers-by when he was out with his ex.

[Incomprehensible]
We were electrocute
In our has-been 1980's suits
So electrocute
Everyone we knew said it was true
That's when even strangers knew our names
Ten years later sighed "what a shame"
[Incomprehensible]
We were electrocute
To make the point again is moot
Ssssssso electrocute
How on you I've wasted my youth
Your cold eyes of Coney Island sand
Hair dyed the blood of a foolish man
So proud to be by your side
We were a team no one denied
Even though I still miss your lips
You're about as real as your tits
[Incomprehensible]
