St. Paul & The Broken Bones
Heat Lightning
[Verse 1]
Did you hear the son of God tell you what he wants?
Was it just a lighting bolt hurried from the sky?
Take your gun to the house bury it out back
Don't tell a soul what you did and never come again

[Chorus]
He failed like you always said he would

[Verse 2]
Cops are here, now you run, don't tell them what you did
It's not fair to take a life from someone innocent
Wish I could just tell you, child, "I love you with all my heart"
But now you're buried underground, eaten by the worms

[Chorus]
He failed like you always said he would

[Outro]
Death, it smells of rain
Daddy told me I would raise a child just like him
Now I am stuck in sinking sand trying to forget
