Lyrics
God, I am nothing but a boy in my room
But when I stand at the windowsill, I look at the moon
And I know something is rising to another dimension
Going out of my mind way across the midwestern expanses
It dances out under the stars
It's a prayer, and it's there when I'm riding in cars
And when I'm listening to music, when I'm watching TV
I don't know how to say it, I get down on my knees in my room
In the evening, when no one's around
And then I turn on the radio, I turn up the sound
I say "No, no, don't fall through
I need you
Call me up right now
I'd call you but I don't know how"
It started out when I was ten years old
I climbed into the driver's seat, the car started to roll down a hill
And I fell deep in love with a lady
Who I hadn't yet met, oh, but she made me her baby right then
And that's when, I started into this dream
And it's not done, I don't wake up, I don't know what it means
But I know that she's out there, God, I know you can hear me
I want love to be real, I want you to be near me
But the radio's broken, the phone's out of service
And we've got no connection and it's making me nervous
I say, "No, no don't fall out"
I call out
In this night's last hour
I'm feeling that mysterious power, oh
God, I am nothing but a boy in my room
A boy in my room
Feeling that mysterious power
A boy in my room
A boy in my room
Feeling that mysterious power
