WIRES Nov. 18/83 Karl Rigelhof

Running to and fro
Surging with the power flow
Strung on high through the air
Transporting energy everywhere

They even invade our homes
They won't leave us alone
They're even in our beds (/)
They're even in our sleep
Soon they'll be in our heads (/)
And soon into our dreams they'll creep

We feel their presence inside and out
Tell me what's this all about
You know this leaves no doubt
The horror makes me want to shout

An endless tangle of electricity
Unleashes the demon to his deed
(We) consume much more than we need
Power corrupts all with its greed

With its blessing we create
With its curse we devastate
It is integral to our lives
Without it we cannot survive

We seem to have lost touch
If it seems to get (to be) too much
And begins to strangle our desires
We will simply disconnect the wire(s)
