Steve Rothery - Power 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 pa** the laws and gold Tsunamis and mushroom clouds Oh babe 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-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 A Saturn-5 in a vertical climb You never knew power, did you? Thought it roared like Niagara 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 its 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
