Blackout

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 killing 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
