Lightning

There's a funny lightning, threatening with striking But it moves too quick for a picture There's a funny lightning 'round the corner Hiding but I'm too smart just to catch it with gloves and rubber So I stay put right here, watching the sky for tears Let the fools and cowboys roar to wrecks But if I should wake up and find my home's in half Who is it? Blame nature I guess I have to laugh And if I should wake up and find my bed Has moved six inches, six closer to the west But this funny lightning I wanna invite in if I could learn how to teach it I salt the corners of my room because, because a ghost can never be too careful And if I should wake up and find my home's in half Who did it? Oh nature, I hope you have a laugh And if I should wake up and find my bed has Moved twelve inches, twelve closer to my god Whip crash there's a flash and I'm back to wanting more The crack is movin' up the wall Whip crash there's flash and I'm back to wanting more I can't help thinking this is war Whip crash there's a flash and I'm back to wanting more The crack is movin' up the wall Whip crash there's flash and I'm back to wanting more I can't help thinking this is war --- Lightning - David Byrne and St. Vincent
