Lightning Bolt

She spent the nineties living through a TV

Sitting cross-legged two feet from the screen

She moves like she's in a dream

Her boyfriend's eyes are neon green

She hits the century looking for some fun

Like she's staring back into the barrel of a gun

One blink, she's already gone

Don't you fuck around and fall in love

And don't ask questions you don't wanna know

About the the lonely life of a lightning bolt, yeah

Did you think you were gonna get married?

Make a baby, fall asleep and get buried

My mind's like a movie scene

Now your Americana is losing steam

You see pictures she's in, Barcelona

Staring through a camera like she's never known ya

See the wind blowing through her hair

The sky's weighing down on you, he don't care

She'll tell you to stay, but she wants you to go

It's the lonely life of a lightning bolt, yeah

Oh, there's nothing left to say

The lady always gets her way

She's not yours to take

Oh, there's nothing left to do

Maybe she'll remember you

She's not yours to take

She'll tell you to stay, but she wants you to go

Don't ask questions you don't wanna know

About the the lonely life of a lightning bolt, yeah

Go to bed, boy

It's a lonely life

You've got me, you've got me

The lonely life of a lightning bolt, yeah
