Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was sharing secrets with another world
Rubbing shoulders with some unknown lovers
Making waves through the universe
Starting wars with anonymous brothers
[Verse 2]
Trip switch
Trip switch
[Verse 3]
Make a wish and I'll count to three
Press the button and we'll both be happy
Sending signals is a dirty trick
Get my love in a digital package
[Verse 4]
Trip switch
Trip switch
[Verse 5]
What we do when the power's out?
What do we do when the lights go down?
What we do when the power's out?
What do we do when the lights go
Down, down, down, down and down and down
And the lights go
Down, down, down, down and down and down
Lights go
[Verse 6]
Yeah, gimme data 'cause I need a hit
How I love stratospheric numbers
Information, I've been craving it
Gimme yours, then gimme all the others
[Verse 7]
Trip switch
Trip switch
[Verse 8]
What we do when the power's out?
What do we do when the lights go down?
What we do when the power's out?
What do we do when the lights go
Down, down, down, down and down and down
And the lights go
Down, down, down, down and down and down
When the lights go
[Verse 9]
Ooh, they put out the lights
They put out the lights
They put out the lights
[Verse 10]
What we do when the power's out?
What do we do when the lights go down?
What we do when the power's out?
What do we do when the lights go
Down, down, down, down and down and down
Hey, when the lights go
(Down, down, down, down, down, down)
[Verse 11]
What we do when the power's out?
What do we do when the lights go (Down?)
What we do when the power's out?
What we do when the lights go
Down, down, down, down and down and down
Down, down, down, down and down and down
When the lights go down
