[Verse 1]

I got shocked 'cause the room was on two different circuits

First I felt the thunder then blacked out at band practice

I'm told that I screamed and stood up

Then I sat down and wept after the amp got unplugged

[Chorus]

You never ask for anything

The racecar driver died on TV

I ran like hell into the burning house

It'd been too long since I had felt the sting

[Verse 2]

Hot breath looming off the grill of a truck

Your long legs hold you up like two big machine guns

Cricket jumped behind the fridge

It stayed thеre for two days

The envy somеtimes gets to me

It's never sacred rage

You never ask for anything
