When I tune-up my guitar, I get so scared a string will break
And will stab me in the eye, and I will never see the same
And when I open up my door, I get so scared I'll walk to you
That I go and turn around and just sit inside my room
And there's a lot of things I don't know
But I sure know about truth
Like how I know that it's hard to find
And I know that it is in you
Oh, powerline, can you read my mind?
I almost overload at least half the time
Oh, powerline, your power supplies
At least half the town all the time
Oh, powerline, I want all your time
I am not surprised you're not fine
But if you read my mind, can you keep it low?
Like on the real down low, all the time
I won't let you take up all of my fumes
I wanna let it burn, I wanna let it get put to use
From someone that's other than you
I've been something elemental
Something that tells me
Being kind is all I have
And how honorable to be so
Insanely in survival, and everything else
I don't upset anyone, can you tell?
No inflammation, transgressions, and tone
My persona's so perfect, no need to atone
There is a deficit clear to me
I'm not really close to anybody
But I think a buddy is better than none
I dissect my actions up to twenty one
♪
Oh, powerline, just go to sleep this time
There's no effective guilt up my sleeve tonight
I'll hit the hay, I can leap through time
There are better ways for us to screw up lines
And speaking of lines, overall you tried
I'm scared I lost my mind, but it's fine
Oh, powerline, I think I realized
That your power source comes from deep inside
