Lyrics
Lightning
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We hear the dealers with the words
That ride the tails
Of their cigarette smoke
Sliding through the tunnels of our ears
Those greasy marionettes of
Real bone and blood
Stand on the corner of Washington Square
Vision stining
Eyes blurring
Elevator's got you rising so high
17 floors you want so much more
Elevator's got you rising so high
17 floors you want so much more
There's lightning on the ceiling
Coming from the corner of her eye
Somewhere horses flee from thunder
Somewhere the bones of a cat
Are buried under a garden
Well there's a radio on
Broken songs empty digression
Won't be long to you and me are gone from here
Lightning on the ceiling
Coming from the corner of her eye
