Sloan - Blackout lyrics

People walk around in a daze that's unsettled And they're thinking of drinking until the morning Never doing nothing about the trouble on the way When the lights go out with out warning Out back is the place where I watch it unravel And the chalkboard got it's own ladybug Upkeep is low and the wall are un-level And no one has a clue what they're doing There's a blackout for me and one for you too There's some white heat keeping everybody down When the grid snaps on You'll be picking up the pieces of the blackout There's nothing you can do about it I can feel that the heat is k**ing everything around And I hope that it soon gets colder The lights are just a flicker and power is underground And the city is about to smolder Ther's a blackout for me and one for you too There's some white heat keeping everybody down When the grid snaps on You'll be picking up the pieces of the blackout There's nothin' you can do about it There's nothin' you can do about it Nothin' you can do about it There's nothing you can do
