[Verse 1]

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

She only brought me torture

But that's what happens when it's you that's standing

In the path of a lightning bolt

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

And chances, people tell you not to take chances

When 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

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

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
