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 kinda 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
|
Saturn 5 in vertical climb
|
|
You never knew power, did you?
|
Thought it roared like Niagra 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 it's 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
|
|

Power
