Chargin’ Up My Batteries (G. Kooymans/B. Hay) 1982 Cut

Well I couldn’t live if I don’t see a miracle happen, stayin’ up, waitin’ here with you
And I do believe in a mystery that needs unraveling, stayin’ up, being here with you, in tune

Well I’m runnin’ around and I’m runnin’ around in circles painted on the ground
I’m runnin’ around and I’m runnin’ around in circles on the ground

I don’t know how they got us here, I don’t know why it don’t come clear
Confession that I have to make, expression that I have to fake
The situation on the other hand is a matter I cannot comprehend
When plugs don’t spark in the dark

I’m chargin’ up my batteries, chargin’ up my batteries
Hey now, gimme full capacity
Well I’m chargin’ up my batteries, chargin’ up my batteries
Chargin’ up my batteries, hey now, any day now

It’s no tragedy but I hear the good times fadin’, like a spotlight changin’ green to blue
Yes I do believe something better be happenin’, before the night comes through
Ain’t it true, yeah it’s true

Well I’m runnin’ around and I’m runnin’ around in circles painted on the ground
I’m runnin’ around and I’m runnin’ around in circles on the ground

I don’t know how they got us here, I don’t know why it don’t come clear
Confession that I have to make, expression that I have to fake
The situation on the other hand is a matter I cannot comprehend
When plugs don’t spark in the dark

I’m chargin’ up my batteries, chargin’ up my batteries
Hey now, gimme full capacity
Well I’m chargin’ up my batteries, chargin’ up my batteries
Chargin’ up my batteries, hey now, any day now
