MARILLION lyrics : "Power"
Like loose change jingle janglin'
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 a strong arm
People passing laws in gold
Tsunamis and mushroom clouds
Oh baby, that's nothing
You think it's kind of 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 tanglin'
It's coiled up inside me
And it's ready to blow
You never knew power, did you?
You thought it fizzed in the over-head lines
Burning steel and bone to carbon
Saturn 5 in a vertical climb
You never knew power, did you?
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
Where you sparkled and fell
From heaven to hell
Ten years grinding by in every hour,
in every hour
I know all about power
Listen to the rain
Might feel a tremble
You might feel it
