Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Morning
It's another pure grey morning
Don't know what the day is holding
And I get up fighting, hoping I walk right in
To the path of a lightning bolt
[Verse 2]
The siren
Of an ambulance comes howling
Right through the center of town and
No one blinks an eye, and I look up to the sky
For the path of a lightning bolt
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
And chances
People tell you not to take chances
When 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
[Verse 6]
Fortune
People talking all about fortune
Do you make it or does it just call you?
In the blinking of an eye, just another passerby
In the path of a lightning bolt
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
In 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
