Lightning Man - Nitzer Ebb

It seems some story was told

But what is there to tell?

Well, some song had been sung

But none of it sings

Let’s spell it out

Up and down from A to Z

You meant zed, you said zed

From nothing to something

And something for nothing

From no one to someone

From someone to same one

Same old thing

The only way out

Leads to no way back

What can you do?

Easy

You shove it back where it came

Easy

You never let yourself down

So you got up

And you ran

And you run to get up

Through Chinatowns

To slip right down

Soho’s a town in every downtown

Drinking friends

Who’ve drunk in bars

Whose drunken friends

In drinking bars, waiting

For the lightning man to strike

Icing on your cake

If I knew you were coming

I’d cooked your goose

Baby, come to daddy

Daddy’s come to baby

Easy

You shove it back where it came

Easy

You never let yourself down

You better be careful out there

You be careful out there

You better be careful out there

You be careful

You ain’t gonna get far

You better be careful out there

You ain’t gonna get far

You ain’t gonna get far

You be careful out there

You ain’t gonna get far

You ain’t gonna get far

You be careful out there

You better be careful out there

We’re gonna pluck you off

You better be careful out there

You ain’t gonna get far

You ain’t gonna get far

We’re gonna pluck you off

We’re gonna pluck you off

We’re gonna pluck you off

Baby, come to daddy

Daddy’s come to baby

Easy

You shove it right back down

Easy

You never listen to this
