Lichtenberg Figures

You were struck by lightning walking in the rain to your car

And when you awoke, the lightning left a beautiful scar

It looked so alive, growing from the base of your spine

And next time I saw you, you were hovering up the hospital drive

Do you believe in extra-terrestrial life?

Cause I saw something in the sky

All of the nightmares you’ve outrun

They thought you were done but you’ve only just begun

  

You were struck by lightning but you don’t talk about it much any more

Something about it sends a little chill to your core

You think it might’ve gone and changed the look of your eye

You look kind of like a UFO learning to fly

Do you believe in extra-terrestrial life?

Cause I saw something in the sky

All of the nightmares you’ve outrun

They thought you were done but you’ve only just begun

You might think there’s nothing left to lose

But there’s magic in the wounds

Do you believe in extra-terrestrial life?

Cause I saw something in your eyes

All of the nightmares you’ve outrun

They thought you were done but you’ve only just begun

Only just begun
