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? |
| Y'thought that power was in a strong arm |
| People passing 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? |
| Y'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 |
| It's 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 |
| I know all about power |
Listen to the rain |
| You might feel a tremble |
| You might feel it |
