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 realisation   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)
