[Intro]
[Electric Hum, Funk Bass Groove, Percussive Guitar Scratches, Pulsing Synth Sequence]

Searching for a little power

Searching for a little spark
(To connect our arc)

Come on, along
Plug into it
(Outlet!)

Will turn you on
(On and on)
Make you strong
(Come on along)
On and on

[Verse 1]
[Steady Dance Groove, Clean Guitar Chops, Warm Organ Pads]
Running through the walls around us
Hidden just beneath the skin
Waiting for the right connection
Waiting to let someone in

[Pre-Chorus]
[Rising Synth Arpeggios, Tom Fills, Vocal Harmonies Expanding]
Feel the voltage building higher
Feel the rhythm feed the wire

Where do I begin
To plug it in

Come on, along
Plug into it
(Outlet!)

You bet
(Outlet!)
Will turn you on

Make you strong
(Come on along)
On and on

[Verse 2]
[Half-Time Groove, Atmospheric Synth Pads, Sparse Piano Chords]
You can wander in the darkness
Disconnected and alone
Or you can find the missing outlet
And finally bring it on home

[Pre-Chorus]
[Cymbal Swells, Bass Intensifies, Synth Filter Peaks]
Feel the signal starts to climb
As one… connect in time

[Bridge]
[Music Drops to Bass Pulse and Electronic Percussion]

Power rising
(Feel the spark)
Light the system
(Through the dark)

You bet

Will turn you on
(On and on)
Make you strong
(Come on along)
On and on
