Its crazy but often clear often clear..
We shimmer and disappear
In color in black and white black and white..
We slowly fade out of site
but these days were lit by lightning thin lines of light
Its crazy but somehow clear somehow clear
we ride in silence out of fear
We've spoken seem come alive come alive
we prefer the silence of the blind
But these days were lit by lightning
thin lines of light
these days
were lit by lines
of sharp
white
shock
white
hard
cold
white
light
were crazy but often kind often kind
we rage in violence blind
Together and then alone then alone
we race in small circles home
but these days
were lit by lightning
Thin lines of light
These days
were lit by lines of sharp
white
light
these days
Were lit by lightning

Wanna know where you live
Wanna know who you are
Want to see what you see
Wanna go where you are
Wanna touch what you touch
Wanna be where you are
I wanna know what city this is
Seems like I'm moving so far
Riot town, right noise
A lightning streak
Fate rides up and moves us on
Mother don't weep
Wanna see what you see
I wanna touch, let me play
I want to try every poison in sight
I want to lie where you lay
Let me see, let me see
Wanna know what you know
I wanna learn what's imprisoning me
I wanna know, let it go
Riot time, right noise
Violent times speak
Bottled up like a fake damn nation
Lightning speed
Crackdown back doors
Meltdown shoes
Bare back rider is a rank outsider
An automatic cruise
I wanna touch what you touch
I long to be where you are
I'll always know, you'll let me know
All this gets too far
Let me touch, let me touch
Let me feel what you feel
I want to know how certain this is
I wanna know this is real
Riot town, right noise
Lightning streak
Fate rides up and moves us on
Mother don't weep
Crackdown back door
Violent times speak
Fate rides up and moves us on
Lightning streak
Lightning streak
[Incomprehensible]
Lightning streak

Cool as the water melting from the winter snows
You are the island I've been looking for
I don't know where you come from but I can feel you comin' on
You're a storm inside my soul that's ragin' out of control
Call the wind out, call out the thunder
Oh lightning, only you can will the weather
I said come on, won't ya come on?
Lightning you're mine, tonight, tonight
You caught me while I was sleepin', restin' from a heavy run
I saw you in your evening gown, you were lighting up the sky
No matter what tomorrow brings, lightning, you're mine tonight
Oh, lightning you're mine tonight
Crack the horizon, only you can split the night
Then comes your mother cloud to take you away
Another wind will dry me and the sun will make me warm
But to me my life will always be the calm before the storm
Call the wind out, call out the thunder
Oh lightning, only you can will the weather
I said come on, won't ya come on?
Lightning you're mine, tonight, tonight
You caught me while I was sleepin', restin' from a heavy run
I saw you in your evening gown, you were lighting up the sky
No matter what tomorrow brings, lightning, you're mine tonight
Oh, lightning you're mine tonight
Call the wind out, call out the thunder
Oh lightning, only you can will the weather
I said come on, oh come on
Lightning you're mine, tonight, tonight
You caught me while I was sleepin', restin' from a heavy run
Well I saw you in your evening gown, you were lighting up the sky
No matter what tomorrow brings, lightning, you're mine tonight

Hey, what's all the fuss about?
Hey, what's all the fuss about?
Hey, what's all the fuss about?
Hey, what's all the fuss about?
They say lightning, they say lightning
Lightning never strikes twice in a row
Generations, generations
First they fight and then they forget
What they were fighting about in the first place
Here it comes, the big explosion
Haven't I seen that once before
Or is it just some deja vu
Just some long forgotten dream
Just some silly memory
History does not repeat, it never, never does
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
I should know
I've been hit three times (or was it four?)
I'm a walking testimony
Come here, look at these holes
I'm a walking testimony
Just look at these holes, look at these holes!
Generations, generations
Fathers never teach their sons
And grandpa never talked to them and so on
Memories are inconvenient
When there's lessons to be learned
That just might rock the boat too much
Cause anxiety and such
We cannot walk without our crutches
We cannot walk, we cannot walk, we never, never could
(Repeat Chorus and Bridge)
Hey, what's all the fuss about?
Hey, what's all the fuss about?
Hey, what's all the fuss about?
Hey, what's all the fuss about?

Hey, what's all the fuss about?
Hey, what's all the fuss about?
Hey, what's all the fuss about?

Lightning struck a while ago
And it's blazing much too fast
But give it rain of waiting time
And it will surely pass
Blow over
And it's happening so quickly
As I feel the flaming time
And I grope about the embers
To relieve my stormy mind
Blow over
Shaken this has left me
And laughing and undone
With a blinding bolt of sleeplessness
That's just begun
And a windy crazy running
Through the nights and through the days
And a crackling
Of the time burned away
Burned away
Now I feel it in my blood
All hot and sharp and white
With a whipcrack and a thunder
And a flash of flooding light
But there'll be a thick and smoky
Silence in the air
When the fire finally dies
And I'm wondering who'll be left there
In the ashes of the time
Burned away
Burned away

Breathe fire - I'm knee deep in your lies
where's the guy above - he's my alibi
no sign, no helping hand as the going gets tough
I lost all my faith, all hope in mercy from above
I saw the pope kissing concrete a mile away a hundred children bleed
White lightning - stop frightening give me a deep breath of live
white lightning - I'm gonna play it my way and it's so dark inside
Where's the lord - who let all these children die
the church pretends the mess we're in back in the real world
where weird things affect our live
look into the future unholy visions will rise
They showed me jesus wearing a cross next a bald child, bone cancer she's lost

Mjoellnir flies across the sky
And giants fall down dead
Lightning strikes with power
Crush them in their head
They fear the Hammer everywhere
The Thunder calls for death
No living thing will harm our god
Until the serpents' breath!
From dark clouds fire falls to us
A battle rages high
[Refrain:]
Lightning, Thunder, Wind and Rain
Hammer's crushing heads and bones
And lightning strikes his foes
Dark rain's washing off the blood
While the Wind of anger blows
So many giants flood the world
They'll never be all gone.
Whatever we might fear at night
The Thundergod will battle on!
Up the fight is going on

Lightning,
You would hit me just like lightning,
Give me shelter from the rain
Stay down
Way down
You stay on my mind
Like a flashback like a wind out
I could feel you in my veins
Way down
But not quite like pain
I would give, give, give, give everything I own
I would live, live, live, live like I used to know
I would give, give, give, give everything I own
To find my way back home
You were lightning
Time went by, it's frightening
But it feels like nothing changed
Way down
Stay down
You stay on my mind
Like sparkles like a new?
You raise into my veins
Way down
Almost, but not quite like pain
I'm not quite the same anymore
I would give, give, give, give everything I own
I would live, live, live, live like I used to know
I would give, give, give, give everything I own
To find my way back home
I would give, give, give, give everything I own
I would live, live, live, live like I used to know
I would give, give, give, give everything I own

You're in control,pressing pause on my heartbeat,
Someone stole all the air,so I can't speak,
Now I know the chase is on,
I feel as though my time has come.
How many times do I fly through your head space,
Now it's speeding away from a safe place,
Yeah,your skin,the touch,the kiss,
The rush, too much,and here it comes.
When your lips touch mine,
It's the kiss of life,
I know, I know that it's a little bit frightening,
We might as well be playing with lightning.
We touch like,
Like it's our first time,oh oh,
I know that it's a little bit frightening,
We might as well be playing with lightning now...oh oh.
Just you and me and the coats in the back room,
Learning things they don't teach in the classroom,
Now,you're here,I feel the fear,
Now everything is oh,so clear.
I've been addicted to you since the first hit,
Out of control like a surge of electric,
Yeah,your skin,the touch,the kiss,
The rush, too much and here it comes.
When your lips touch mine,
It's the kiss of life,
I know, I know that it's a little bit frightening,
We might as well be playing with lightning.
We touch like,
Like it's our first time,oh oh,
I know that it's a little bit frightening,
We might as well be playing with lightning now...
Oh oh,
Oh oh,
Oh oh,
Oh oh.
Your skin,the touch,the kiss,too much,
Your skin,the touch,the kiss,the rush,
Your skin,the touch,the kiss,too much,
The rush,the rush,the rush,the rush.
When your lips touch mine,
It's the kiss of life,
I know, I know that it's a little bit frightening,
We might as well be playing with lightning.
We touch like,
Like it's our first time,oh oh,
I know that it's a little bit frightening,

These four walls of Fort Worth
Are closin' in on me
My final meter's over
An' they're gonna set me free
I can feel the fire's a burnin'
As the devil guards my door
I hit my knees in search of Jesus
On a cold jail house floor
Lord, now I'm singin', "Get me out of here"
I see the preacher's eyes
As my daughter cries
When they strap me in this chair
Lord, I hope she forgives me
For livin' my life this way
Tonight I ride the lightning
To my final judgment day
'Every life owes a debt'
That's what the Bible says
I owe mine to this state
For shootin' that boy to death
A liquor store at ten
He was reachin' for his gun
Well, now his Momma sits there smilin'
As the bar shifts roll on one
And now I'm singin', "Get me out of here"
I see the preacher's eyes
As my daughter cries
When they strap me in this chair
Lord, I hope she forgives me
For leavin' her this way
Tonight I ride the lightning
To my final restin' place
A hungry blue eyed baby cryin'
Made me rob that store
An' as that boy lay there dyin'
I dropped my pistol on the floor
Yeah, I'd take it all back
But there's nothin' I can do
They've covered my face
An' the order's gone through
As the bar shifts roll on two
Now I'm flyin'
Up an' out of here
I close my eyes an' slowly rise
Let my body leave this chair
Lord, I hope you forgive me
For livin' my life this way
Yeah, tonight I ride the lightning
To my final restin' place
These four walls of Fort Worth

These four walls of Farnworth
Are closin' in on me
My final meal is over
They're gonna to set me free
I can feel the fires burning
As the devil guards my door
I hit my knees in search of Jesus
On a cold jailhouse floor
Lord now I'm singin'
Get me out of here
I see the preacher's eyes
As my daughter cries
When they strap me in this chair
Lord I hope she forgives me
For livin' my life this way
Tonight I'll ride the lightning
To my final judgement day
Every life owes a death
That's what the Bible says
I owe mine to this state
For shootin' that boy to death
A liquor store attendant
He was reachin' for his gun
Now his mama sits there smilin'
As the boss yells, Roll on one
And now I'm singin'
Get me out of here
I see the preacher's eyes
As my daughter cries
When they strap me in this chair
I hope she forgives me
For leavin' her this way
Tonight I'll ride the lightining
To my final resting place
A hungry blue-eyed baby cryin'
Made me rob that store
And as that boy lay there dyin'
I dropped my pistol on the floor
Yeah I'd take it all back
But there's nothin' I can do
They've covered my face
And the order's gone through
As the boss yells, Roll on two
Now I'm flyin'
up and out of here
I close my eyes and slowly rise
Let my body leave this chair
Lord I hope you forgive me
For livin' my life this way
Tonight I ride the lightning
To my final resting place
These four walls of Farnworth

She don't smile anymore, she says she lost the war
The war on loving me
Who's been looking for a fighting chance
The feeling of our last dance with the music slowly fading
She's like lightning, don't strike twice, don't strike twice, don't
She's like lightning, don't strike twice, don't strike twice, don't
She's like lightning, you don't strike twice at all
It's impossible to see when hearts turn away
Wrongs can't make it right
When we would learn from our mistakes, we would bend until it breaks
And now we're picking up the pieces
She's like lightning, don't strike twice, don't strike twice, don't
She's like lightning, don't strike twice, don't strike twice, don't
She's like lightning, you don't strike twice at all
You don't strike twice at all
For me
She's like lightning, don't strike twice, don't strike twice, don't
She's like lightning, don't strike twice, don't strike twice, don't
She's like lightning, don't strike twice, don't strike twice, don't
She's like lightning, don't strike twice, don't strike twice, don't
She's like lightning, you don't strike twice at all

we hear the dealers with their words
that ride the tails
of their cigarette smoke
sliding through the tunnels of our ears
those greasy marionettes of
real bone and blood
stand on the corner of washington square
vision stinging
eyes blurring
elevators got your rising so high
17 floors you want so much more
elevators got you rising so high
17 floors you want so much more
there's lightning on the ceiling
coming from the corner of her eye...
somewhere horses flee from thunder
somewhere the bones of a cat
are buried under a garden
well ther's a radio on
broken songs empty digression
won't be ling to you and me are gone from here
lightning on the ceiling

Lightning struck a while ago
And it's blazing much too fast
But give it rain of waiting time
And it will surely pass
Blow over
And it's happening so quickly
As I feel the flaming time
And I grope about the embers
To relieve my stormy mind
Blow over
Shaken this has left me
And laughing and undone
With a blinding bolt of sleeplessness
That's just begun
And a windy crazy running
Through the nights and through the days
And a crackling
Of the time burned away
Burned away
Now I feel it in my blood
All hot and sharp and white
With a whipcrack and a thunder
And a flash of flooding light
But there'll be a thick and smoky
Silence in the air
When the fire finally dies
And I'm wondering who'll be left there
In the ashes of time
Burned away

Just stare me down with those electric eyes
No matter how hard I try,
I can't escape that gaze tonight
That girl's up in the atmosphere
That girl's up in the atmosphere
I'm hypnotized by the way she moves
Baby girl please help me soon,
Imma take you to sun and the moon
That girl's up in the atmosphere
That girl's up in the atmosphere
[Chorus]
And I've been catching myself thinking of it
It's 3 in the morning,
Every day I chase after her
But I can't catch lightning
Catching myself thinking of it
It's 3 in the morning,
Every day I chase after her
But I can't catch lightning
No I can't catch lightning
She'll make you believe anything she wants
Make you think that you're the one
She will keep you there
That girl's up in the atmosphere
She's way up in the atmosphere
[Chorus]
And I've been catching myself thinking of it
It's 3 in the morning,
Every day I chase after her
But I can't catch lightning
Catching myself thinking of it
It's 3 in the morning,
Every day I chase after her
But I can't catch lightning
No I can't catch lightning
Oh I can't catch lightning
Yeah, I can't catch lighting
Just stare me down with those electric eyes
No matter how hard I try,
I can't escape that gaze tonight
That girl's up in the atmosphere
That girl's up in the atmosphere
That girl's up in the atmosphere
She's way up in the atmosphere
And I've been waiting, waiting, waiting for you
Anticipating
Chasing after things that you do
But I can't catch lightning
Waiting, waiting, waiting for you
Anticipating
Chasing after things that you do
But I can't catch lightning
No I can't catch lightning
No I can't catch lightning
Oh I can't catch lightning

I still remember every word you said
I've got a catacomb of words up in my head
Now all our dreams are thrift-store ready
Like they used to be that way
When we're looking at a one-track get-away
And a moment's all it takes to find
The grey matter is suddenly defined
And if I stare too long at another face
Sometimes I see your own
Outrun the realization that I'm alone
When the lightning strikes you can try to run
But it never fails to strike at home
Now you're all shook up
And you can feel the burning deep inside your bones
And if you try hard enough
You might make it back in time
It's been greyer for this time of year
I've been sitting around waiting for a sign to appear
Something in me says stick it out, wait another day
But what I wait for, want I wanted
It always stays the same
When the lightning strikes you can try to run
But it never fails to strike at home
Now you're all shook up
And you can feel the burning deep inside your bones
And if you try hard enough
You might make it back in time
And the maker of this puzzle
I wanted to commend
I can't see the whole picture
Guess I haven't figured it out yet
And even though these times are trying
And it's hard to keep your head above
Oh the water rolling over
You just gotta hold on
When the lightning strikes you can try to run
But it never fails to strike at home
Now you're all shook up
And you can feel the burning deep inside your bones
And if you try hard enough
