she may be the face i cant forget
the first time i saw lightning strike
i saw it underground
six deep feet below the street
the sky came crashing down
for a second that place was lost in space
then everything went black
i left that basement burning
and i never went back
the second time i saw it strike
i saw it at sea
it lit up all the fish like rain
and rained them down on me
for a second that boat was still afloat
then everything went black
i left it underwater
and i never went back
hey hey hey
but i like it when that lightning comes
hey hey hey
yes i like it a lot
hey hey hey
yes i’m jumping like a jumping jack
dancing screaming itching squealing fevered
feeling hot hot hot
the third time i saw lightning strike
it hit me in bed
it threw me around
and left me for dead
for a second that room was on the moon
then everything went black
i left that house on fire
and i never went back
hey hey hey
but i like it when that lightning comes
hey hey hey
yes i like it a lot
hey hey hey
yes i’m jumping like a jumping jack
dancing screaming itching squealing fevered
feeling hot hot hot
