Stealing Electricity Lyrics


Theres a Mexican dead on a power line
Hes deader than yesterdays communion wine
He was trying to get something he couldnt afford for free
A poor man stealing electricityHis heart when d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da
D-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da
D-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da-daTen thousand volts, now he's gone
Hanging on a cross high above Babylon
Hey baby, aint that just like you and me?
Love is like stealing electricityTwo hearts go d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da
D-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da
D-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da-daWhen the poverty of your spirit and the weakness of your flesh
Go dancing every night through other peoples trash
You love yourself women, what the hell youre doing with me
Youre gonna burn baby, burn from stealing electricityTwo hearts go d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da
D-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da
D-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da-daWe climb so high in search of a kindred soul
Till we grab hold of a live wire up on a high line pole
The laws of nature say you get nothing for free

And love is like stealing electricityTwo hearts go d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da
D-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da
D-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da-daTheres a Mexican dead on a power line
Hes deader than yesterdays communion wine
He was trying to get something he could not afford for free
A poor man stealing electricityHis heart went d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da
D-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da
D-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-daD-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da
D-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da
D-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da
