Power Lines Lyrics

VERSE:
First time I looked straight into her eyes
I saw the future, I saw bluer skies
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Even when I'm lonely I am always surprised
All of the ways you told me to keep my eye on the
Pri-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ize
CHORUS:
You and your photographic memory
You and your photographic memory
INSTRUMENTAL:
VERSE:
I'm a broken man, I'm damaged goods
Lock me in the basement with furnace soo-o-oot
You came along in your party dress
I climbed a mountain under house arre-e-est
CHORUS:
When we were kids I could swear we were power lines
Out on some journey searching for some better minds
BREAK:
You can't cut it out, no you can't keep it out of line
Looking for the pavement
Looking like were running out of time
And I am yours and you are mi-ine
INSTRUMENTAL:
VERSE:
Batten down the hatches and man the sails
The war isn't over, its not even tipped the
Sca-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ales
Run down the tracks like a bat out of hell
Dont muss up your hair because were destined to
Fa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ail
CHORUS:
When I was young I thought I was a power line
When I was young I was searching for some better time
INSTRUMENTAL/OUTRO:
