The Power Songtext
von Nimmo

Night folds in the distance
Time loses resistance
And I don′t know how I'll ever feel well again
Walls change in these eyelids
Tears float to my iris
And I don′t know how I'll ever feel well again

Can I cheat one more night in their eyes?
I can't see past my only disguise

I don′t belong to you
I don′t belong to my own desires
Nothing I feel is true
Getaway driver, take me tonight
Even when I think about it, even when I do
Even when I dream about it
I'm dreaming I don′t belong to you
I don't belong, I don′t belong


Blindfolded by your lens
You drove me from my best friends
And I don't know how I′ll ever find my way home
Dropped off in the West End
Straight-talking and desperate
Well, I don't know how I'll ever feel well again

Can I cheat one more night in their eyes?
I can′t see past my only disguise

I don′t belong to you
I don't belong to my own desires
Nothing I feel is true
Getaway driver, take me tonight
To somewhere I can think without it, somewhere I can see
Somewhere I′m no longer dreaming
I don't belong to you
I don′t belong, I don't belong

My back′s in pain, I'm paid in vain like £8.50 an hour
Standing at the counter, giving straight girls my advice on life
And I'm selling cheap a portion of my dignity, because boredom
Well, it drives my mind to the weakest
Kind of a coyness built for the boardroom
I had dreams when I was sixteen, yeah, my best friend was Morrissey
Our politics, they never aligned, a harsh breath on my warm mind
You woke each and every last fight from a mind made up of the power
The power, the power, the power


I don′t belong to you
I don′t belong to my own desires
Nothing I feel is true (I don't belong to you)
Getaway driver, take me tonight
To somewhere I can think without it, somewhere I can see
Somewhere I′m no longer dreaming
I don't belong to you (I don′t belong to you)
I don't belong, I don′t belong

(Somewhere I can think without it, somewhere I can see)
(Somewhere I'm no longer dreaming)
(Somewhere I can think without it, somewhere I can see)
(Somewhere I'm no longer dreaming)
(Somewhere I can think without it, somewhere I can see)
(Somewhere I′m no longer dreaming)
(Somewhere I can think without it, somewhere I can see)
(That′s the power, that's my power)
