Lyrics:

She spent the 90s

Living through a TV

Sitting cross-legged four feet from a screen.

She moves like she’s in a dream.

Her boyfriends eyes are neon green.

She hit the century

Looking for some fun

Like she’s starring back into the barrel of a gun.

One blink, she’s already gone

Don’t you fuck around,

And fall in love.

 

And don’t ask questions you don’t wanna know

About the lonely life of a Lightning Bolt.

 

Did you think

You were gonna get married?

Make a baby, fall asleep, and get buried

My, my it’s like a movie scene

Now your Americana is losing it’s steam

You see pictures, she’s in Barcelona

Starring through a camera like she’s never known ya

See the wind blowing through her hair

That’s God’s way of telling you he don’t care.

 

She’ll tell you to stay but she wants you to go

It’s the lonely life of a lightning bolt.

 

Oh there’s nothing left to say,

The lady always gets away

She’s not yours to take.

Oh there’s nothing left to do

Maybe she’ll remember you.

She’s not yours to take.

 

She’ll tell you to stay but she wants you to go.

Don’t ask questions you don’t wanna know.

About the lonely life of a Lightning Bolt.

 

Go to bed Boy.

It’s a lonely life

You got hit

You got hurt

The lonely life of a Lightning Bolt.
