Lightning Strikes Songtext

von Klaus Nomi

Listen to me, baby, you got to
Understand, you're old enough to learn the makings of a man.
Listen to me, baby, it's time to settle down. Am I asking too
Much for you to stick around?

'singing'
Every boy wants a girl he can trust to the very end.
Baby, that's you, won't you stay? But til then . . . when I see
Lips begging to be kissed, I can't stop, I can't stop myself!

'singing a very high falsetto'
Lightning's striking again! Lightning's striking again!
Lightning's striking again! Lightning's striking again!

'Verse, sing-speaking' Nature's taken over my one-track mind,
Believe it or not you're in my heart all the time. All the girls
Are saying that you'll end up a fool. For the time being, baby,
Live by my rules!

'singing'
When I settle down, I want one baby on my mind.
Forgive and forget, and I'll make up for all lost time. She's put
Together fine and she's on my mind. I can't stop! I can't stop
Myself!

'singing a very high falsetto'
Lightning's striking again! Lightning's striking again!
Lightning's striking again! Lightning's striking again!

'singing'
There's a chapel in the pines waiting for us around
The bend. Picture me in your mind, love forever! But til then . . .
When I see lips begging to be kissed, I can't stop, I can't stop
Myself!

'singing a very high falsetto'
Lightning's striking again! Lightning's striking again!
Lightning's striking again! Lightning's striking again!
Lightning's striking again! Lightning's striking again!
Lightning's striking again! Lightning's striking again!
Lightning's striking again! Lightning's striking again!
