Ezra Furman & The Harpoons Mysterious Power
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 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. And that's when
I started into this dream. 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
