I Am a Lightning Rod

I'll be you

you'll be talkin' to a flowerpot

but that's hardly worth a thought

or a plague of frogs

we will vomit up our chicago luck

and we will dance

on broken sheets of glass

to make our point.

and if this town seems too big

if the traffic freaks you out

i will be your lightning rod

delivering sound to you

he's a charming wreck

and he's a handsome wreck

the kind of rat

that took my woman back to his pad

and i'm not travelin'

i'm not sleepin' in

the clothes i wore

a hundred times or more.

(repeat chorus)

what'll I do?????

what'll I do.....

when my nerves get

topsy turvy

i'll be you

if you want me to

i'll clean your clock

and if this town seems too big

if the traffic freaks you out

i will be your lightning rod

delivering sound

i can see beneath your skin!

it really freaks me out

i will be your camera's flash

delivering sunbeams

Love Song For a Schubas Bartender.

hang that reath. so I can have a happy new year.

you're so pretty, people envy you.

Can you tie a tie?

You're the reason children turn to dope.

pour my drink so we can have ourselves a good time.

you're the reason people lose their minds

and they're all around you but you don't know what you've done.
