Bottle Lightning Twice

You didn't ask, I didn't offer

A little lamb at the slaughter

In a cubicle cage, I've been locked up for days

Lightning round, hit the ground running

I feel like I've been up for days

Taking too many blows to the face

We're inbound on a northbound train

A rat chews the cables underground on the subway

I like your negative approach

It makes me feel great when I am so scared, already so scared

And I didn't ask for this

I was only wondering

What it'd be like, be like, to see the thunder hear the strike

I got a brown paper bag

I'm breathing in and out in the back you see

And all the people are staring at me

Pulling into the station it's a fever dream

The crowd goes wild while I'm in the ring

Big open spaces, little train car seat

Lightweight, tapped out it seems

But I'll be okay when I feel the electricity

And I didn't ask for this

I was only wondering

What it'd be like, be like, to see the thunder hear the strike

And I don't care how bad it gets, I'll just keep muttering

What it'd be like, be like, when I bottle lighting twice

When I bottle lightning twice. (x4)

And I didn't ask for this

I was only wondering

What it'd be like, be like, to see the thunder hear the strike

And I don't care how bad it gets, I'll just keep muttering

What it'd be like, be like, when I bottle lighting twice
