Jim James - State of the Art (AEIOU) Lyrics

Daylight come
Daylight go
How far will it reach?
Ain't nobody know
And when the dawn breaks
The cradle will fall
And down come baby
Cradle and all
Now I know you need the dark
Just as much as the sun
But you signin' on forever
When you ink it in blood

A.E.I.O.U.
E.I.O.U.
A.E.I.O.U.

I, I use my state of the art
Technology
Supposed to make for better living
Are we better human beings?
We've got our wires all crossed
The tubes are all tied
And I'm straining to remember
Just what it means to be alive
A life worth living
Now you can feel it in your chest
Buildin' like little birds
Just building up the nest
And you build it up strong
And you fill it up with love
And you pray for good rain
All from the lord above

A.E.I.O.U.
E.I.O.U.
A.E.I.

I use my state of the art
Technology
Now don't you forget it
It ain't using me
'Cause when the power's goes out
I got over me
'Cause the power's goin' out
I think the power's goin' out
I mean it, the power's goin' out
I really mean it the powers goin' out
