Mysterious Power

Mysterious Power - Ezra Furman/The Harpoons

God I am nothing but a boy in my room

But when I stand at the windowsill

And I look at the moon

And I know something is rising to another dimension

Going out of my mind

And way across the midwestern expanses

It dances out under the stars it's a prayer

And it's there when I'm riding in cars

And when I'm listening to music

When I'm watching TV

I don't know how to say it

I get down on my knees in my room

In the evening when no one's around

I turn on the radio and turn up the sound

I say no no don't fall through

I need you

Call me up right now

I'd call you but I don't know how

It started out when I was 10 years old

I climbed into the driver's seat

The car started to roll down a hill

And I fell deep in love with a lady

Who I hadn't yet met

Oh but she made me her baby

Right then found a pen

Started writing a poem and it's not done another way

Cause i don't know what they mean

And I know that she's out there

And I know you can hear me

How I'd love to be real

And I want you to be near me

But the radio's broken

The phone's out of service

And we've got no connection

And it's making me nervous

I say no no don't fall out

I call out

In this night's last hour

I'm feeling that mysterious power

God I am nothing but a boy in my room

A boy in my room feeling that mysterious power

A boy in my room

A boy in my room feeling that mysterious power
