The Power Is Down - Red Box

Holy Moses Israel

When are you going to turn the light on?

Boy oh boy the U.S. of A

Where are all the bold and angry?

What we have is a permanent dark

The motor won’t spark

When the power is down

What we have is a permanent freeze

The motor will seize

When the power is down

Power is down

Power is down

So low in the U. K

No more a guiding light to draw to

No way, no way S. A

A power surge is crawling up your mainframe

What we have is a permanent dark

The motor won’t spark

When the power is down

What we have is a permanent freeze

The motor will seize

When the power is down

Power is down

Power is down

I’m listening for whispers amongst the shouts

I’m searching for, I’m searching for

I’m straining to find even one light house

I’m on receive, on receive

Don’t know which half to be

Don’t know which half to believe

What we have is a permanent dark

The motor won’t spark

When the power is down

What we have is a permanent freeze

The motor will seize

When the power is down

Power is down

Power is down

And I’m never going back

Last call, last call

No, I’m never going back

And I’m ready to pack
