Lightning Bolt

Morning, its another pure grey morning

Don't know what the day is holding

When i get up tired and i walk right into the path of a lightning bolt

Siren of an ambulance comes howlin', right through the centre of town and no-one blinks an eye

And i look up to the sky in the path of a lightning bolt

Met her as the angels parted for her, but she only brought me torture

But that's what happens when it's you that's standing in the path of a lightning bolt

But i just stand by and i wait my time

They say you gotta toe the line, they want the water not the wine

But when i see the signs i'll jump on that lightning bolt

Chances, people tell you not to take chances

And they tell you that there aren't any answers

And i was starting to agree

But i woke suddenly

In the path of a lightning bolt

Fortune, people talking all about fortune

Do you make it or does it just call you

In the blinking of an eye

Just another passer-by in the path of a lightning bolt

Everyone i see just walks the walk with gritted teeth

But i just stand by and i wait my time

They say you gotta toe the line, they want the water not the wine

But when i see the signs i'll jump on that lightning bolt

Silence, i was lying back gazing skyward

When the moment got shattered

I remembered what she said

And then she fled in the path of a lightning bolt
