lyrics

[The first verse of this song is a reading from Murakami's Wind-up Bird Chronicles]

Recharging, recharging
Like batteries
recharging, overloading
like batteries, exploding
recharging, overloading
like batteries, recharging
like batteries, like batteries

But it's never quite as simple as that is it
it's like a camera in a box that you've lost and forgotten about,
then you pull out to play again
then suddenly the battery just leaks over you
and there's just that white powder and it's on your fingers and gets under your nails
and before you know it your skin's turned black,
and it gets into your lungs and your nose,
everything inside you
and suddenly you've lost your skin and you've lost your fingers

Recharging, recharging
Like batteries
overloading, exploading
like batteries, recharging,
we're corroding, exploding
like batteries, recharging,
overloading, exploading

we could've powered some kind of jet but I guess we just weren't ready yet,
who would've known how far we could get but I guess we just weren't ready yet,
we could've powered some kind of jet but I guess we just weren't ready yet,
who would've known how far we could get but I guess we just weren't ready yet,

Recharging, recharging
Like batteries
we're corroding, exploding
like batteries, recharging,
we're corroding, exploding
Like batteries, recharging
we're corroding, exploding

we could've powered some kind of jet
we could've powered some kind of jet
who would've known how far we could get
but I guess you just weren't ready yet
