Lightning bolt

Old familiar lightning bolt
Splintering a clear blue sky
Strike me down on a bench
In Dallas, Texas
Old familiar lightning bolt
Twelve hours to the taze
Feel it start in my head, my heart
Strike me down in Tennessee
Push the car through a crowded hall
Ten thousand ways to die
Since I’ve been born
They’ve added five more
Doing the things I have to do
It’s like living with myself
Drape me all over you
I will see you in a week
I will see you on the beach
Sun and sand in your dull black hair
You don’t seem to care
It’s been so long
