INTRO: D palm mute
Thereâs a Mexican dead up on a power line
Heâs deader than yesterdayâs communion wine
He was trying to getting something he couldnât afford for free
He was just a poor man stealing electricity
His heart when na na na na na na na
(pick second string harder)
na na na na na na na

10,000 volts and now heâs gone
Heâs hanging on a cross-tire above Babylon
Hey baby ainât that just like you and me
Love is like stealing electricity
Two hearts go na na na na na na na
(pick second string harder)
na na na na na na na
When the poverty of your spirit and the weakness of your flesh
Go dancing every night through other peopleâs trash
You donât love yourself baby, what the hell youâre doing with me
Youâre gonna burn baby burn stealing electricity
Two hearts go na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na
We all climb so high in search of the kindred soul
Till we grab hold to a live wire up on a highline pole
The laws of nature say you get nothing for free
Love is like stealing Electricity
Two hearts go na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na
