[Verse 1]
I had a dream, and you were in it
You ran a race, but you didn't win it
And I wasn't sorry to see you lose
I would have paid good money
Ro have them grease your shoes

[Chorus]
Grease lightning
Going no where at all
It was frightening to watch you skid
Right into a fall

[Verse 2]
You spent your life expecting me to watch
So each time you slipped down, I cut a lower notch
So I wasn't sorry to feel you slide
If this is your body
I'm a thorn in your side

[Chorus]
Grease lightning
Going no where at all
It was frightening to watch you skid
Right into a fall
[Bridge]
If you think
That it's gone
And forgotten
Then you're wrong

[Chorus]
Grease lightning
Going no where at all
It was frightening to watch you skid
Right into a fall

[Chorus]
Grease lightning
Going no where
It was frightening to watch you skid
Right into a fall
