  • She comes on like a stone
    But you don't know where from she was thrown
    Like a burning meteor from miles high
    Shes looking for a place to land
    She said you got yourself some sand
    And whatever you'd reply she took as yes

    She comes out the deep?
    With her newly planted seeds and soon you're
    Thrown down on your knees and then you're dead
    Then before you know the weeds are all beastly overgrown
    With all the wild seeds he sews in your sleeve

    You've got to know you'll never let her go
    Lightning bolt!
    Lightning bolt!
    Lightning bolt!

    Always something and never nothing
    Isn't that the way we're taught to be, to be?
    Through the worn our pages
    In stages when you knew not who to be
    Yeah! yeah!
    Until the lightning strike sets you free, yeah!

    You've got to know you'll never let her go
    She is lightning bolt!
    Lightning bolt!
    Lightning bolt!

    The crashing stormy waves are over shoreline everyday
    Until the castle on her waves turns to sand
    She holds her lovely breast as her birds fall from her nest
    Flying towards the great northwest, yeah you were here

    And with no repair in sight
    There is no god with such might
    As you open her world wide with such a view
    And your death will soon arrive as she finally decides
    That all her problems, they won't die with you

    A-yeah! a-yeah! a-yeah!
    Never let her go
    She's a lightning bolt
    Never let her go
    She's true

    She's rock 'n roll
    She's a lightning bolt
    Uncontrollable
