Struck By Lightning - The Wooden Birds

I tell you love will get you nowhere Like a moth headed for the light It burns the wings, blinds the eyes If you don't put up a fight When love strikes it shakes the ground Moves the earth all the walls fall down Trumpets blow in Jericho Turns your whole world around Your nerves begin to tremble Your legs they don't feel like your own Are you dancing, are you dancing, are you dancing, are you dancing?? Struck by lightning Struck by lightning Struck by lightning Shot down in flames Struck by lightning Struck by lightning Yeah love will do you damage Trip you up, make a fool outta you All your hopes will go up in smoke No friends left to turn to Yeah love will drive you insane Make a wise man lose control Are you dancing, are you dancing, are you dancing, are you dancing Struck by lightning Struck by lightning Struck by lightning Shot down in flames Struck by lightning Struck by lightning Now your struck, Yeah! And in disbelief I watched my plans And sanity slip through my hands Without a clue Now I see it's all because I was Struck by lightning Struck by lightning Struck by lightning Struck by lightning Struck by lightning Struck by lightning Shot down in flames Struck by lightning Struck by lightning Struck by lightning Shot down in flames Struck by lightning Struck by lightning Struck by lightning

It's storming out, maybe you should come inside And tell me why you don't wanna be alive If you don't respond, I'll put my shoes on And lay down on the pavement next to you If we get struck, at least we'll make the news The news What a way to go out Something this town will forever talk about The two kids who were laying down And struck by lightning in front of your house In the mud, sinking down Thinking of everything I have to think about You shut me up, look at the clouds As lightning struck What a way to go out Something this town will forever talk about The two kids who were laying down And struck by lightning in front of your house And kids out on the playgrounds Years from now will say, "Did you ever hear about The two kids who were laying down And struck by lightning in front of your house?" Maybe on a sunny day You might have some things to say But if you don't, that's okay What a way to go out Something this town will forever talk about The two kids who were laying down And struck by lightning in front of your house And kids out on the playgrounds Years from now will say, "Did you ever hear about The two kids who were laying down And struck by lightning in front of your house?" As lightning struck And struck by lightning in front of your house

Baby who can blame us if we're wrong? Baby who can blame us if we're wrong? Baby who can blame us if we're wrong? They're going to say we're wrong These foolish arms They don't know that they hold so long Or they're heavy cause the feelings gone And if they're listening to us at all Then they weren't really friends of ours No they weren't really friends of ours No they weren't really friends of ours No they weren't really friends of ours They're going to say we're wrong They're going to say we're wrong It's a false alarm Cause it's a false alarm

Oh oh oh oh oh oh A little brother is a little shy He keeps a bible by his bedside Under a bottle and some dim lamp light Mirror on the dresser keep the buttons in line And the baby sisters lonely only she don't lie But she never sleeps alone at night One in the basement and another on the side She keeps her doors locked tight and the windows wide Oh oh oh oh oh oh Whats a woman and a man to do? Half a heart's not enough for two You ever wonder why the pictures bone dry? The sugar pots empty when the neighbors drop by Cause mama's saving all her sugar for you Cause mama's saving all her sugar for you Cause mama's saving all her sugar for you Mama's saving it all Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Whenever you come home you light a little fire A little fire barely enough to burn you And Heaven knows it only gives a little light But sometimes just a little light it gets you Cause you burned up all the books, it was so sad A lonesome history of a hard (?) one through four Or wrote another 'bout two matchsticks holding hands You're sayin' to the other you won't burn alone... anymore In the middle of the night one would sleep The other's lighting up the dark alongside you And when the wind was blowin' in you both would keep Each other burning like neither alone would do You're gonna burn out alone You're gonna burn out alone You're gonna burn out alone You're gonna burn out alone
