Power (Live)

Lyrics

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
