(Verlaine)
|
I was torn out by the roots
|
And laid out to dry,
|
My head was spinning,
|
My, oh my,
|
Well I walk the plank
|
And crawl through the mine,
|
Just searching for you,
|
So many many times,
|
Well I've been told
|
About a thousand rules,
|
They don't belong to me,
|
They weren't made for you.
|
When you flash lightning,
|
You flash lightning,
|
You flash lightning,
|
You flash lightning.
|
|
You're the keeper of the flame,
|
Someone no-one can tame,
|
Your Royal Highness, I'm at your call,
|
Shall I rise or shall I fall?
|
|
When I heard your name,
|
I looked into my cup,
|
Lo, and behold,
|
The seven seas came up,
|
When I hear your voice,
|
The arrow flies,
|
The street turns silver
|
And the fools get wise,
|
When you flash lightning,
|
You flash lightning,
|
You flash lightning,
|
You flash lightning.
|
|
You're the keeper of the flame,
|
Someone no-one can tame,
|
Your Royal Highness, I'm at your call,
|
Shall I rise or shall I fall?
|
You're the keeper of the flame,
|
Someone no-one can tame,
|
Your Royal Highness, I'm at your call,
|
Shall I rise or shall I fall?
