Like a cloud ushered in by wind
You were just a reaction to my confusion
A hybrid of hundreds of troubles
People felt us connect and ran for shelter

And there are blackouts in L.A. tonight
There's an evident lack of light tonight
An increase in desire
You'll catch me hanging out on a wire
Cutting the voltage to your power line
(And the lights go out)

Like a love ushered in by bliss
You came to me like a realization
But your look could sharpen a knife
Now all I hear is tearing of paper

And there are blackouts in L.A. tonight
An evident lack of light tonight
An increase in desire
You'll catch me hanging out on a wire
Cutting the voltage to your power line
(And the lights go out)

Now you cannot affect me
I feel no electricity
Now you cannot control me
I feel no electricity

(And the lights go out)
And there are blackouts in L.A. tonight
There's an evident lack of light tonight
An increase in desire
You'll catch me hanging out on a wire
Cutting the voltage to your power line
(And the lights go out)
