[Intro]
\nPower on!
\n(Let it flow!)
\nPower up!
\n(Ready to go!)<\/p>\n

Something’s sparking
\n(What’s that sound?)
\nLights are flashing
\n(Shutting down!)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nEverything was working fine
\nRunning right on borrowed time
\nThen a little glitch appeared
\nSomething wasn’t quite as clear<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nShort circuit
\n(Upped and quit)
\nShort circuit
\n(Yes, sir… shh… it!)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nThoughts are racing through my head
\nHalf the things I should have said
\nToo many signals coming in
\nWhere does one idea begin?<\/p>\n

Can’t connect and can’t compute
\nLost the signal, lost the route
\nWhen the system starts to freeze
\nSomebody pull the plug, please!<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nShort circuit
\n(Upped and quit)
\nShort circuit
\n(Yes, sir… shh… it!)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWhat’s the problem?
\n(Too much current!)
\nWhat’s the answer?
\n(Stop the surge!)<\/p>\n

What’s the signal?
\n(Interference!)
\nWhat’s the system?
\n(Needs a clearance!)<\/p>\n

Unplug!
\n(Reset!)
\nReconnect!
\n(Reflect!)
\nTake a breath!
\n(Then inspect!)<\/p>\n

Click!
\n(Clack!)
\nZap!
\n(Back!)<\/p>\n

Blink!
\n(Think!)
\nDrop!
\n(Stop!)<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nShort circuit
\n(Upped and quit)
\nShort circuit
\n(Oh, oh shh… it!)<\/p>\n

Short circuit
\n(Overload!)
\nShort circuit
\n(There goes the code!)<\/p>\n

Short circuit
\n(Disconnect!)
\nShort circuit
\n(Then reconnect!)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nPower down…
\n(Let it go!)
\nPower up…
\n(Nice and slow!)<\/p>\n

No more sparks…
\n(No more fits!)
\nBack online…
\n(That’s the fix!)<\/p>\n

Short circuit!
\n(Oh, oh shh… it!)<\/p>\n

SHORT CIRCUIT!<\/p>\n
