Power Lines

First time I looked straight into her eyes
 I saw the future, I saw bluer skies
 Oh oh oh oh oh
 Even when im lonely I am always surprised all
 Of the ways you told me to keep my eye on the
 Prize
 You and your photographic memory
 You and your photographic memory
 Im a broken man, Im damaged goods
 Lock me in the basement with furnace soot
 You came along in your party dress
 I climbed a mountain under house arrest
 When we were kids I swear we were power lines
 Out on some journey searching for some better
 Minds
 You cant cut it out, no you cant keep it out
 Of line
 Looking for the pavement
 Looking like were running out of time
 And I am yours and you are mine
 Batten down the hatches and man the sails
 The war isnt over, its not even tipped the
 Scales
 Run down the tracks like a bat out of hell
 Dont muss up your hair because were destined
 To fail
 When I was young I thought I was a power line
 When I was young I was searching for some
 Better time
