lightning bolt

morning, it's another pure grey morning, don't know what the day is holding, and i get up fightin', hoping i walk right into the path of a lightning bolt, the siren of an ambulance comes howling, right through the center of town and, no one blinks an eye, and i look up to the sky for the path of a lightning bolt, met her as the angels parted for her, but she only brought me torture, but that's what happens, when it's you that's standing in the path of a lightning bolt, everyone i see just walks the walk with gritted teeth, but i just stand by and i wait my time, they say you gotta toe the line, they want the water not the wine, but when i see the signs i'll jump on that lightning bolt, and chances, people tell you not to take chances, and they tell you that there aren't any answers, and i was starting to agree, but i awoke suddenly in the path of a lightning bolt, and fortune, people talking all about fortune, do you make it or does it just call you, in the blinking of an eye, just another passerby in the path of a lightning bolt, everyone i see just walks the walk with gritted teeth, but i just stand by and i wait my time, they say you gotta toe the line, they want the water not the wine, but when i see the signs i jump on that lightning bolt, in silence, i was lying back gazing skyward, when the moment got shattered, i remembered what she said, and then she fled into the path of a lightning bolt
