David Byrne & St. Vincent - Lightning Lyrics
There's a funny lightning, threatening with striking but it moves too quick for a pictureThere's a funny lightning 'round the corner hiding but I'm too smart just to catch it with gloves and rubberSo I stay put right here, watching the sky for tearsLet the fools and cowboys roar to wrecksBut if I should wake up and find my home's in halfWho is it?Blame natureI guess I have to laughAnd if I should wake up and find my bed has moved six inches, six closer to the westBut this funny lightning I wanna invite in if I could learn how to teach itI salt the corners of my room because, because a ghost can never be too carefulAnd if I should wake up and find my home's in halfWho did it?Oh nature, I hope you have a laughAnd if I should wake up and find my bed has moved twelve inches, twelve closer to my godWhip crash there's a flash and I'm back to wanting moreThe crack is movin' up the wallWhip crash there's flash and I'm back to wanting moreI can't help thinking this is warWhip crash there's a flash and I'm back to wanting moreThe crack is movin' up the wallWhip crash there's flash and I'm back to wanting moreI can't help thinking this is war
