[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
