Lightning Up!
|
And shake the ground
|
|
Is that a horn that's blowing?
|
Or a bell that's tolling?
|
Walls are falling
|
Ships pulled out from their mooring
|
Is that a river or just a road the storm has stolen?
|
|
And this will predict the times these signs will bring
|
Me and my stupid heart
|
We were never apart
|
But now sugar won't work
|
|
Lightning Up!
|
And fly the coop
|
Far from this tin-pan alley oop
|
Did you think I was your dupe?
|
I hear such lies and howlers
|
Words to pull out your molars
|
|
And this will predict the times these signs will bring
|
Me and my stupid heart
|
We were never apart
|
But now sugar won't work
|
|
Lightning Up!
|
Sugar the pill
|
A wall of ocean ten miles high
|
Metal darts torn from the sky
|
Like wanton boys make noise pull wings from flies
|
|
And this will predict the times these signs will bring
|
Me and my stupid heart
|
We were never apart
|
But now sugar won't work
|
