The Power’s Out

St. Vincent St. Vincent

Monday morning, subway station
Pushers pushing, racers racing
Came the message on the station
The power's out across the nation
And, ladies and gentleman it seems we've got a problem
The man on my screen said, just as somebody shot him
And the mothers gasped, the children cried
Almost could not believe my eyes

The power's out
And no one can save us
No one can blame us now
That the power's out

It was pouring like a movie
Every stranger looked like they knew me
Handsome cowboys praying, Gothic
Said: I just remembered being happy
And ladies and gentleman, do remember me smiling
The queer on the train said as she jumped off the platform
And some blind folks held the police, crying
I swear to you I would not lie

The power's out
And no one can save us
No one can blame us now
That the power's out
And no one can save us
No one can blame us now
That the power's out
That's why I never came home
