Lightning

Everyday a nine to five

To pay for studio time

Pink slipped a day before

Eviction notice on your floor

What does it mean?

Stuck inside the same bad dream

Feels like you’re falling behind

As you wander the world with broken battered blinded eyes

Just remember that lightening never strikes the same place twice

I’m telling you now…

Like a wave under the sea

Or a shooting star above the clouds

It all comes naturally*

I would tell you but I don’t know how

Make your destiny

Eyes wide shut, time cannot be found

Learn to take a look around

  

A chance came at your door

A record label made a deal

Bright lights and Rock N Roll

Pinch yourself to know it’s real

Ten thousand screaming fans

New York, Rio, Prague, Japan

Worldwide tours, planets aligned

In a flash now, all your wildest dreams are realized

Yeah, remember that lightening never strikes the same place twice

I’m telling you now…

Like the sun behind the moon

Or the calm before a raging storm

A flower yet to bloom

Life was waiting for you to be born

Sudden avalanche

When it all starts moving much too fast

Ya gotta learn to make it last
