There? s a Mexican dead on a power line
He? s deader than yesterday? s communion wine
He was trying to get something he couldn? t afford for free
A poor man stealing electricity
His heart when d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da
D-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da
D-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da-da
Ten thousand volts, now he's gone
Hanging on a cross high above Babylon
Hey baby, ain? t that just like you and me?
Love is like stealing electricity
Two hearts go d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da
D-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da
D-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da-da
When the poverty of your spirit and the weakness of your flesh
Go dancing every night through other people? s trash
You love yourself women, what the hell you? re doing with me
You? re gonna burn baby, burn from stealing electricity
Two hearts go d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da
D-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da
D-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da-da
We climb so high in search of a kindred soul
Till we grab hold of a live wire up on a high line pole
The laws of nature say you get nothing for free
And love is like stealing electricity
Two hearts go d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da
D-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da
D-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da-da
There? s a Mexican dead on a power line
He? s deader than yesterday? s communion wine
He was trying to get something he could not afford for free
A poor man stealing electricity
His heart went d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da
D-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da
D-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da
D-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da
D-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da
D-da, d-da, d-da, d-da, d-da
