"State Of The Art" lyrics

"State Of The Art"

Daylight come
Daylight come
Daylight go
How far will it reach?
Ain't nobody know

And when the dawn breaks
The cradle will fall
And down will come baby
Cradle and all

Now I know you need the dark
Just as much as the sun
But you're signing on forever
When you ink it in blood

A-E-I-O-U, A-E-I-O-U
A-E-I-O-U, A-E-I-O-U
A-E-I-O-U, A-E-I-O-U, A-E-I-O-U

I use my state of the art
Technology
Supposed to make for better living
Are we better human beings?

We've got our wires all crossed
Our tubes are all tied
And I'm straining to remember
Just what it means to be alive

A life worth living
Now you can feel it in your chest
Building like little birds
Just building up the nest

And you build it up strong
And you fill it up with love
And you pray for good rain
All from the one above

A-E-I-O-U, A-E-I-O-U
A-E-I-O-U, A-E-I-O-U
A-E-I-O-U, A-E-I-O-U, A-E-I-O-U

I use my state of the art
Technology
Now don't you forget it
It ain't using me

'Cause when the power goes out
I got all I need
Because the power's going out
I mean the power's going out

I mean the power's going out
I mean the power's going out
I mean the power's going
I mean the power's going
Going out

I mean the power's going
Power's going
Power's going
Power's going
Power's going out
