Pearl Jam
Lightning Bolt (Live 2017)
[Spoken Word]
Okay, here we go
It's a gutsy move playing this one right here, ya know
Gutsy!
Comin' right up!
[Verse 1]
She comes on like a stone
But you don't know where from she was thrown
Like a burning meteor from miles high
Looking for a place to land
She said, "Have you got yourself some sand?"
And whatever you replied, she took as yes
[Verse 2]
Now she comes after thee
With her newly planted seeds and soon
You're prone down on your knees and there you dig
And then before you know the weeds are
Obesely overgrown with all the
Wild seed she sows in your sleep
[Chorus]
You gotta know you'll never let her go
She's a lightning bolt
Lightning bolt
Lightning bolt
Lightning bolt
[Verse 3]
Always something and never nothing
Isn't that the way we're taught to be?
To be, yea, yeah
Flipping through the worn out pages
And stages when you knew not who to be
Yeah, yeah
Until the lightning strike, sets you free
[Chorus]
You gotta know you'll never let her go
She's a lightning bolt
Lightning bolt
Lightning bolt
Lightning bolt
[Verse 4]
The crashing stormy waves erode her
Shoreline everyday until the
Castle of her ways turn to sand
She holds her lovely breast
As her birds fall from the nest
Flying towards the great northwest, yeah yeah yeah
[Verse 5]
And with no repair in sight
There is no God with such might
As to open her world wide with subterfuge
And your death will soon arrive
As she finally decides that all her problems
They won't die with you
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
[Chorus]
She's a lightning bolt
Lightning bolt
She's a lightning bolt
She's too
