Stealing Electricity Lyrics - Love & Fear - Tom Russell

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
