All the little boys and all the little girls are afraid of me
They hope and they pray and they stay away, yeah they stay away from me
I've lived under the powerlines my entire life
And I've shared my bread with moths and heathens and my newborn wife
But, when I'm feeling down, whoah- yeah
All the little boys and all the little girls scream as I flee the scene
All their little ribbons and all their little bows are tied to the toes sewn to my feet
They hope and they slime and they pantomime under the florescent lights
The power lines have been good to me, and my newborn wife
And when I'm feeling down, whoah- yeah
How could I be so blind to the contagions forming around my eyes
And all those cats that go under my couch never seem to make it out
My newborn wife likes to feed the lice to mice that we trade for spice
The powerlines have been good to me and this mold that is my life
But, when I'm feeling down whoah-yeah
