Well I couldn't live if I don't see a mirracle happen
Stayin' up being here with you
And I do believe in a mistery that needs unraveling
Stayin' up being here with you, in tune

Well I'm runnin' around
I'm runnin' around in circles painted on the ground
Well I'm runnin' around
I'm runnin' around in circles painted on the ground

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 chargin' up my batteries
Chargin' up my batteries

Hey now Gimme full capacity
I'm chargin' up my batteries
Chargin' up my batteries
Hey now any day now

It's no tragedy but I hear the good times fadin'
Like a spotlight changin' green to blue
Yes I do believe something better be happenin'
Before the night comes through
Ain't it true
Yeah it's true

Well I'm runnin' around
I'm runnin' around in circles painted on the ground
Well I'm runnin' around
I'm runnin' around in circles painted on the ground

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 chargin' up my batteries
Chargin' up my batteries

Hey now Gimme full capacity
I'm chargin' up my batteries
Chargin' up my batteries
Hey now any day now
