Lightning
9. Lightning (4:02) ISRC – QMAAK198920

Hungry and howling I sure need to get high
Ours is never to questions why
Only to run just to wait and to drive
If we are truly lucky we can say that we survived
I’m skipping like a stone across the water tonight
Can’t slow down for no street light
The water underneath me it is deep and dark
It’s looking like rain and I’m writing in chalk.

They may say I was an easy mark
Never put my hands up in front of my heart
But I love this world just like fire loves a spark
And I will leave this world
just like lightning leaves the dark
Just like it leaves the dark

Death will never kiss me cause she can’t stand the taste
I run those circles around her while she’s walking in place
I could leave her out of focus when my wheels hit the ground
I’ll ask her husband how he feels about her sleeping around
I got five words for you can I hold your hand
Yes I got my secrets I ain’t running no scams
I know the world is watching and I don’t give a damn
I want to bomb your jungle like it was Vietnam

They may say I was an easy mark
Never put my hands up in front of my heart
But I love this world just like fire loves a spark
And I will leave this world
just like lightning leaves the dark
Just like it leaves the dark
just like lightning leaves the dark
Just like it leaves the dark

If you had a purpose for me it’s good you forgot
No use stopping bullets after guns have been shot
I know your trying to make some money off those lies that you bought
Looks I’m more in the business of untying the knot
I send these sacrifices to burn out in the street
I want to make sweat harder than New Orleans heat
I want to leave your head ringing like a solid bronze bell
Listening to the ocean like your ear was in a shell

They may say I was an easy mark
Never put my hands up in front of my heart
But I love this world just like fire loves a spark
And I will leave this world
just like lightning leaves the dark
Just like it leaves the dark
just like lightning leaves the dark
Just like it leaves the dark
