Mysterious Power Songtext
von Ezra Furman & The Harpoons

God, I am nothing but a boy in my room
But when I stand at the windowsill, I look at the moon
And I know something is rising to another dimension
Going out of my mind, 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
And then I turn on the radio, I 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 ten 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 and that′s when
I started into this dream
And it's not done, I don't wake up
I don′t know what it means

But I know that she′s out there
God, I know you can hear me
I want love to be real
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
