Power |
You carry me around |
Like loose change jingle-jangling |
At the bottom of your bag |
You don’t seem to feel it though |
As you swing down the street |
Walking that unique birthday-candle glow |
In broad daylight |
In broad daylight |
And you don’t even know |
The way I love you |
You never knew power, did you? |
You thought that power was in a strong arm |
People pass the laws and gold |
Tsunamis and mushroom clouds |
Oh babe that’s nothing |
You think it’s kind of sweet |
The stammer and the tremble in my voice |
But don’t mistake it for weakness |
Or some kind of incompleteness |
'Cause round about now |
I can feel it tingle-tangling |
It’s coiled up inside me |
And it’s ready to blow |
You never knew power, did you? |
Thought it fizzed in the overhead lines |
Burning steel and bone to carbon |
A Saturn-5 in a vertical climb |
You never knew power, did you? |
Thought it roared like Niagara Falls |
Or melted stone under volcanoes |
Earthquake, thunder, lightning, storms |
The way I love you |
Is something you don’t understand |
The way I love you |
Took more than I could imagine, even now |
You never knew power |
All the time you felt so strong |
But now you can’t function |
Awake or asleep |
As the meaningless world falls away from your feet |
And the Universe ceases its light-speed retreat |
Life was sweet in the meteor shower |
Of the star-high divine |
When you sparkled and fell |
From heaven to hell |
And ten years grinding by in every hour |
In every hour |
I know all about power |
Listen to the rain |
You might feel a tremble |
You might feel it |
