lyrics

When clouds swallow the sky
and lights dim down to gray
and everyone’s about to cry
because nothing's left to say

Then I’m gonna breathe deeply
and shrug off the people’s panic
since just 'cause it’s going cheaply
ain’t reason enough to get manic

When lightning finally lands
I'll rumble thunder like a song
I won't refuse its fiery demands
I'll just ask what took you so long

Hurry down lightning

After the earth’s done splitting
and swallowing up stray features
and everyone’s not underground
has reverted to lesser creatures

Then I’ll laugh long and heartily
Tap into reserves of calm and bliss
since the world’s ending everyday
don’t make it my local apocalypse

When lightning finally lands
I'll rumble thunder like a song
I won't refuse its fiery demands
I'll just ask what took you so long

Hurry down lightning

Honey, tie your blindfold real tight
on that last dark and stormy night
I’ll hand you a long shiny metal rod
if you'll hold it high above your bod

When lightning finally lands
I'll rumble thunder like a song
I won't refuse its fiery demands
I'll just ask what took you so long

Hurry down lightning
