Electric wires cary my dreams away
Anxious, sleepless nights haunt my days
Until I'm falling asleep standing in line
All the wires start to fray
They start to fray
There's a power line plugged into the wall
That runs back up my spine
Ones and zeros have taken place
Where there used to be my mind
Come out to play
I've been away for far too long
Can I get me through the day
Singing the same old song?
Will anyone see me tomorrow?
Let's go
Electricity squeezing through my veins
Lightning in my head
A glowing screen behind my eye's mind
I'm slipping away as the sweat keeps stinging my eyes
And my lungs keep me breathing
But there's no air cool enough
To keep me from overheating
Until I'm fried
And there's no place I can hide
My brain is a beehive
It feels like I've been plugged into a socket
So I go off like a rocket
And I explode in the sky

Oh girl
You can never get enough
No you can never get enough
Girl if this is your whole world
You want more?
Well that's tough
You drink yourself down 'til your numb to it all
We are so young and tall
How could we ever fall, fall, fall?
Let's dance to one more song and
We'll drive along and take this party down with us
Down with us
Oh
Can he love one more?
He'll make love to them all
Break their hearts and their homes
Leave no wound that can heal
'Cause there's nothing more to feel, feel
When you've loved them all
I can't look ahead 'cause I'm always looking down
My friends are the ones on the screen
And not the ones around
We're all numb to the core when all we want is more
We'll go 90 down the parkway and we'll
Take this party down with us
Down with us
Oh

The lights go by at 90 miles an hour
The light flashes in your eye
It's the light at the end of the tunnel
I didn't know you that well or at all
But now my life's a living hell
It's a living hell
You crossed over like a deer crossing the highway
They left crosses by the road at the end of the day
Oh
I won't ever be the same
There's no one else to blame here but me
They all look at me in shame here
There's no one else to blame here but me
I crossed three lanes on the parkway
They left crosses by the road at the end of the day
Oh
And after they cleaned up the shattered glass off the street
They left crosses by the road at the end of the day
Oh, oh, oh
Now there's a time to mourn and a time to dance
So baby dance for me, dance for me, oh
And do the dance that set you free
Well there's a time to mourn and a time to dance
So baby dance for me, dance for me, oh
And do the dance that set you free
(Down the road)
Down the road
(Down the road)
Down the road
(Down the road)
Down the road
(Shattered glass lies down the road)
Down the road
(Down the road)

Look
If you don't look up soon you won't see it coming
But how could you know, know, know?
You won't be able to see it
Through the lens of your camera phone, phone, phone, phone
You need a thousand Facebook friends
To keep you from feeling alone
You won't be blinded by the sun
Because the only light in your life
Is the glow from that light-emitting diode
The backlit screen of that mobile device
Call it our vice
You're frozen but unlike ice
It's not the cold that's got you stuck
It's a buffering video that's put you on hold
So it's been told
You won't be able to see it
Through the lens of your camera phone, phone, phone, phone
My friends
These wasted hours are more then I can afford
Again I won't sleep even though I'm tired
But who needs sleep
When you're hard wired into a circuit board, board, board
Alright, bring it down now
