Chargin' Up My Batteries

(album: Cut - 1982)

Well I couldn't live if I don't see a miracle happen
Staying up waiting here with you
And I do believe in a mystery that needs unraveling
Staying up being here with you, in tune
Well, I'm running around
In circles painted on the ground

I don't know how they got us here
I don't know why it don't come clear
Confession that I have to make
Expression that I have to fake
This situation on the other hand
Is a matter I cannot comprehend
When plugs don't spark in the dark
I'm charging up my batteries, charging up my batteries
Hey now, gimme full capacity
Charging up my batteries
Hey now, any day now

It's no tragedy but I hear the good times fading
Like a spotlight changing green to blue
Yes I do believe something better be happening
Before the night comes through
Ain't it true, yeah it's true

Well, I'm running around
In circles painted on the ground
I don't know how they got us here
I don't know why it don't come clear
Confession that I have to make
Expression that I have to fake
This situation on the other hand
Is a matter I cannot comprehend
When plugs don't spark in the dark
I'm charging up my batteries, charging up my batteries
Hey now, gimme full capacity
Charging up my batteries
Hey now, any day now
