Power Surge

The power grid is hummin' low

The cold wind is startin' to blow

Storm clouds roll in from the west

This quiet house is put to the test

I feel the pressure buildin' high

No stars left in the blacked-out sky

Lights flickering, the shadows creep

Promises we couldn't keep

Lights flickering, we're in the dark

Waiting for a sudden spark (yeah!)

The hallway lamp begins to fade

All the plans that we had made

Are fading down to black and grey

We watch the power slip away

I feel the pressure buildin' high

No stars left in the blacked-out sky

Lights flickering, the shadows creep

Promises we couldn't keep

Lights flickering, we're in the dark

Waiting for a sudden spark (yeah!)

Lights flickering, the shadows creep

Promises we couldn't keep

Lights flickering, we're in the dark

Waiting for a sudden spark (ohhh!)

Lights flickerin'

Going
