50,000 Kilowatts

When you were young, not long ago
50,000 watts came tumbling
Running down, running down
Us against the world

Seated with a rag in a bottle it sat
You’re the lighter in my pocket
Running down, running down
Us against the world

Get over yourself and under the weight of a broken heart
If you’re born to be hung, you can never drown
Get over yourself and under the weight of this broken heart

This Molotov burning every raft
Turning corset blue with hunger
Running down, running down
Us against the world

Get over yourself and under the weight of a broken heart
If you’re born to be hung, you can never drown
Get over yourself and under the weight of this broken heart

I should have never given up
Because blood, blood, blood
Blood is thicker than the water that we tread
Said I should have never given up
Taking all the bridges that I burnt
And building a boat to sail away on

Get over yourself and under the weight of a broken heart
If you’re born to be hung, you can never drown
Get over yourself and under the weight of this broken heart
