Lyrics
“Power Take Off”
Time to clean the carbon out
On the highway in West Cape Breton
We gained time back with that track
Got the window down crankin‘ stereo sound
Deck amp and sub box
Passed a nic-nac shack and a place to snack
All in all I'm livin’ the dream
You’re the finest woman I've ever seen
When someone’s dead you value
What was said and quote pages read
Let’s skip the news about bloodshed
It was the trickle of the water
And the sigh of the wind
Near the face in the tree
Where the shadows spin
If I wait for an hour
Then pretend to swim
When the twilight arrives
Warn my next of kin
We cleaned the carbon out
On the highway in West Cape Breton
We gained that time back with that track
Got the window down crankin’ stereo sound
Deck amp and sub box
Passed an old gas stop and a lobster shop
All in all I'm livin’ the dream
You’re the finest woman I've ever seen
When someone’s dead you value
What was said and quote pages read
Let’s skip the news about bloodshed
It was the trickle of the water
And the sigh of the wind
Near the face in the tree
Where the shadows spin
If I wait for an hour
Then pretend to swim
When the twilight arrives
Warn my next of kin
I heard the echo of the Oak tree
Looked to the sky of sin
Felt the rain soak my clothes
It’s like I just can’t win and
I look into the mirror to see
How long it’s been
It’s the laughter in the hills
Of the harlequin
These grooves are deep to me
Say what you wanna say
Turn it up loud
Hit the gas and drive
Losin’ rubber on the corner
Might crash and burn
Before I learn catch air
But I feel alive
I heard the echo of the Oak tree
Looked to the sky of sin
Felt the rain soak my clothes
It’s like I just can’t win and
I look into the mirror to see
How long it’s been
It’s the laughter in the hills
Of the harlequin
