Lightning Storm Lyrics - The Roches

on the plane ride home i said why o why 

are we bouncing up and down in the sky 

it's a beautiful frightening lightning storm 

i held you close with the heart of my gaze 

you weren't afraid to my amaze 

in the beautiful frightening lightning storm 

it was fun ... even though 

there was nothing to hold onto 

fun ... even though 

there was nothing to hold onto 

and when they brought the peanuts around 

we said we'll take a drink to wash them down 

in the beautiful frightening lightning storm 

there's a whole lot baby you can't control 

so put your seat back and 'roll mag roll' 

in the beautiful frightening lightning storm 

it was fun ... even though 

there was nothing to hold onto 

fun ... and i know 

there was nothing to hold onto 

its been a long and scary year 

one thing after another 

something else to fear 

well why should i worry to fly 

i'm gonna hand my head down 

and cry cry cry 

i'm gonna hand my head down 

and cry cry cry 

pretty soon those city light below 

showed through and the wind did blow 

in the beautiful frightening lightning storm 

da da dum nothing to hold onto 

da da dum there's nothing to hold onto
