State of the art a.e.i.o.u ( lyrics by jim james from my morning jacket....love this song!!!!!!!

Daylight come

Daylight go

How far will it reach?

Ain't nobody know

 

And when the dawn breaks

The cradle will fall

And down will come baby

cradle and all

 

And now I know you need the dark

Just as much as the sun

But you're signing on forever

When you ink it in blood

 

A.E.I.O.U., A.E.I.O.U.

I use the state of the art

Technology

Suppose to make for better living

Are we better human beings?

We got our wires all crossed

The 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., A.E.I.O.U.

 

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 when the power's goin 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

This is a song about when technology goes out by man or by God pretty much, that we need to better ourselves now to when that power or technical grid goes out we can live better meaning having a better life when that power goes out as to many wouldn't know what to do if the power went out. They'd freak lol... Love this song!!!! So much truth. The part where he sings suppose to make a better living, yet are we better human beings? How truth... It makes noone better only seperates!!! As this is good driving song with good beat. Love ittt
