Erasure
Joan
[Intro: Andy Bell]
Never tasted

[Verse 1: Andy Bell]
Power generation
You live up your life and it feels like fire
Suspended in animation
A trick of the light and it drives you higher

[Pre-Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
Blind vision blind faith
You really can be sold
If you dare to disagree

[Chorus: Andy Bell]
It's just not within the scheme of things
To give up your life so easily
That's not the way you're meant to be
What a waste of time and energy
It's just not within the scheme of things (Live your life)
To give up your life so easily (I'll be there)
Easily

[Verse 2: Andy Bell]
Psychic celebration
Look up in the stars and see Venus rising
Rapture, fascination (Rapture)
You live for the night and your own desire
[Pre-Chorus 2: Andy Bell]
Blind vision blind faith
You really can't rely
On what they tell you for effect

[Chorus: Andy Bell]
It's just not within the scheme of things (Live your life)
To give up your life so easily
That's not the way you're meant to be (I do care)
What a waste of time and energy
It's just not within the scheme of things (Live your life)
To give up your life so easily
That's not the way you're meant to be (I'll be there)
What a waste of time and energy, energy

[Interlude: Andy Bell]
Give, give power
Give, give power

[Pre-Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
Blind vision blind faith
You really can be sold
If you dare to disagree

[Chorus: Andy Bell]
It's just not within the scheme of things (Live your life)
To give up your life so easily
That's not the way you're meant to be (I do care)
What a waste of time and energy
It's just not within the scheme of things (Live your life)
To give up your life so easily
That's not the way you're meant to be (I'll be there)
What a waste of time and energy
[Chorus: Andy Bell]
It's just not within the scheme of things (Live your life)
To give up your life so easily
That's not the way you're meant to be (I do care)
What a waste of time and energy
It's just not within the scheme of things (Live your life)
To give up your life so easily
That's not the way you're meant to be (I'll be there)
What a waste of time and energy, energy

[Outro: Andy Bell]
Energy (Live your life)
Easy, easy, easy
Energy (I do care)
(Live your life)
(I'll be there)
