You boys are surprised to see me Never thought I’d get out of jail Took eight long years to spring me And two hours to ride the rail
Took only thirty minutes to find you Asking every snake slithering the street “Where’s the man with the golden tattoo? The man who let me take the heat?”
You’re surprised in your neon lair By the power underneath despair
Power underneath Power underneath Power underneath despair
Power underneath There’s a power Power underneath Power underneath despair
Power underneath There’s a power Power underneath Yeah the Power underneath despair
Power underneath There’s a power Power underneath Power underneath despair
In solitary for two steel years Thought of you sixty times an hour Fighting madness and fighting despair Digging the hidden power
Thought about you in the yard When your punk slipped me the blade Thought about you in the hospital ward When I gave it back to him in trade
And my smile is the last sight you’ll see As you feel the power from inside of me
Power underneath Power underneath There’s a Power underneath despair
Power underneath Power underneath Power underneath despair
Power underneath There’s a power Power underneath Power underneath despair
Power underneath Power underneath There’s a Power underneath despair
Power underneath Power underneath There’s a Power underneath despair
Power underneath Power underneath Power underneath despair
Power underneath There’s a power Power underneath Power underneath despair
Power underneath There’s a Power underneath Power underneath despair
