When the Lightning Strikes

Beast in the dark

Under your skin

String me up high

Older than sin

Another killing

For this uptown thrill

Oh, what a tragedy

Peeking out behind these

Cold stone bars

Oh, won't you rescue me?

I take my face off

Beneath your radar

I can't always hide

But you could try

Yes, you could try

Shadows in white

Blackened and bruised

You sold me a lie

With power abused

Give me one more life

Give me one more chance

To throw it all away

When the lightning strikes

Bring me back to life

And throw it all away

She's dreaming of a better man

If I could be a better man

You aim at the part of me that's broken

And find somewhere for you to hide

Oh, my! Oh, why?

Oh

Show me your soul and your emotion

Oh, baby, take a look inside

Oh, my! Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?

Ay

Another killing

For this uptown thrill

Oh, what a tragedy

Peeking out behind these

Cold stone bars

Oh, won't you rescue me?

I take my face off

Beneath your radar

I can't always hide

But you could try

Yes, you could try

Give me one more life

Give me one more chance

To throw it all away
