Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Power cut, midnight synth
The lights went out and I kept playing
The neighbor's dog joined in
Battery-powered in Mohali dark

[Chorus]
On making music when the power fails
The shortest track on the album
Placed before the finale
Where the darkness is a drum

[Verse 2]
Written during an actual power cut
Windows open to the night
Battery synth and midnight air
And the dog added what was right

[Chorus]
On making music when the power fails
The shortest track on the album
Placed before the finale
Where the darkness is a drum

[Bridge]
The lights went out and I kept playing
The neighbor's dog joined in
Power cut and midnight synth
And the music would not end

[Chorus]
On making music when the power fails
The shortest track on the album
Placed before the finale
Where the darkness is a drum

[Outro]
Power cut
Midnight synth
