state of the art (a.e.i.o.u.)

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're silent 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 the state of the art

technology

suppose to make for better living

are we better human beings?

we've got our wires all crossed

our tubes are all tied

and i'm straining to remember

just what means to be alive

a life worth living

now you can feel it in your chest

building like little bullets

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-o-u

i

i use my state of the art

technology

now don't you forget it

it ain't using me

cause when the power goes out

i got other means. cause the power's going out

i hear the power's going out

i mean it the power's going out

i really mean it the power's going out
