Lightning across the way
No, I can't rest - been up for weeks
The words, they come in close
They got a nerve that never sleeps for me
I say I wake in rooms of gold
And I crawl down to my knees
A liar, a thief, and the coward of crime
I left mine, empty it off at the side

Bah-bah-bah-da-da
Bah-bah-bah-da-da
Bah-bah-bah-da-da
Bah-bah-bah-da-da
Pull him in close, drop him near the fire
And light the shit up like the 4th of july
Lonely cat-like master
Drive me, take me faster
Eye that, side-back alley
Add to the score, join in the war rally

I can't recite the names
Or events that come to me
The blur of times and dates
That a drink or 2, or 3 relieve
I walk these streets of gold
And the smoke grows on my feet
I cross this line to a land of mines
I await the dagger, my skin to bleed

Bah-bah-bah-da-da
Bah-bah-bah-da-da
Bah-bah-bah-da-da
Bah-bah-bah-da-da
Pull him in close, drop him near the fire
And light the shit up like the 4th of july

Lonely cat-like master
Drive me, take me faster
Eye-that, side back alley
Add to the score, join in the war rally
Lightning across the way
No, I can't rest - been up for weeks
The words, they come in close
They got a nerve, and never sleeps for me
Lonely cat-like master
Drive me, take me faster
I'm that side back alley
Nothing to score, joining the war, and proudly
