Lyrics:
Intro:
She comes on like a stone
But you don't know where from she was thrown
Like a burning meteor from miles high
Looking for a place to land
She said, "Have you got yourself some sand?"
And whatever you replied
She took as, "Yes"
Verse:
Now she comes after thee
With her newly planted seeds and soon
You're prone down on your knees and there you dig
And then before you know the weeds are
Obesely overgrown with all the
Wild seed she sows in your sleep
Chorus:
You gotta know you'll never let her go
Lightning bolt
Interlude:
Always something and never nothing
Isn't that, the way we're thought to be?
Flipping through the worn out pages
And stages when you knew not who to be
Til the lightning strike set you free
Chorus:
You gotta know you'll never let her go
Lightning bolt
Verse:
The crashing stormy waves erode her
Shoreline everyday until the
Castle of her ways turn to sand
She holds her lovely breast
As her birds fall from the nest
Flying toward the great northwest, yeh yeh yeh
Outro:
And with no repair in sight
There is no God with such might
As to open her world wide with subterfuge
And your death will soon arrive
As she finally decides that all her
Problems, they won't die with you
