Lightning Lyrics - Love This Giant - David Byrne & St. Vincent

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
