Lightning - David Byrne, St. Vincent

There’s a funny lightning

Threatening with striking

But it moves too quick for a picture

There’s a funny lightning

'Round the corner hiding

But I’m too smart just to catch it

With gloves and rubber

So I stay put right here

Watching the sky for tears

Let the fools and cowboys roar to wrecks

But if I should wake up and find my home’s in half

Who is it?

Blame nature, I guess I have to laugh

And if I should wake up and find my bed has moved

Six inches, six closer to the west

But this funny lightning

I wanna invite in

If I could learn how to teach it

I salt the corners of

My room because, because

A ghost can never be too careful

And if I should wake up and find my home’s in half?

Who did it?

Oh nature, I hope you have a laugh

And if I should wake up and find my bed has moved

Twelve inches, twelve closer to my god

Whip crash there’s a flash and I’m back to wanting more

The crack is movin' up the wall

Whip crash there’s flash and I’m back to wanting more

I can’t help thinking this is war
