In the middle of the night it came to me

A bridge to your ecstasy

Images of a burned out hell

You comin' in with your mission bell


Don't sit, waiting for the thing to come

Get lit, feel the power of one

Don't sit waiting for the thing to come

Get lit, feel the power of one


Little sister let's go downtown 

and dance to the night sounds

Hear the bass wafting down the hill

From Echo Park, my Jamaica in L.A.


Don't sit, waiting for the thing to come 

get lit feel the power of one

Don't sit waiting for the thing to come

Get lit feel the power of one


It's in the shadows, in the sweet scent breeze

In the riding out of a death disease

The prettiness shining into complete

In the bitterness burning up in the heat


Don't sit waiting for the thing to come

Get lit feel the power of one

Don't sit waiting for the thing to come

Get lit feel the power of one


I was drowning in champagne eyes

Skipping along in compromise

When dignity rattled me on the back

And my rebel mind needed to attack


Don't sit waiting for the thing to come

Get lit feel the power of the one

Don't sit waiting for the thing to come

Get lit feel the power of the one


My sweetness you were with me when

I was sad at an evolution bend

hiding alone like a rolling stone

Now I wanna know the power of your home


Don't sit waiting for the thing to come

Get lit feel the power of one

Don't sit waiting for the thing to come

Get lit feel the power of one 

Don't sit waiting for the thing to come

Laugh in the face of a hundred planet guns
