Lightnin'Strikes Songtext

von Magnum

I've been standin' 'cross the street 'most every night, tryin' to keep my eye on you
I've been waitin' but it seems you never come, I never get to you
I need a chance cause there's a lot that I could say, and there's things that I'd like to do
Most of all I wanna take you away, I've gotta get to you some way

Can't you see the lightnin' strike - run like wild horses
May never be another night like this
Well you can't stand up an' fight - 'gainst those strange forces
It's just a thing you can't afford to miss

There's people tellin' me I'm crazy, they don't know, shouldn't trust a word you say
Your excuse is they're just lies and havin' fun, why don't I stay away
Maybe they're right but I don't feel it in my heart, you took it out of my control
I've fallen in but I don't know where I should start, I'm in a minefield, cold and dark

Can't you see the lightnin' strike - run like wild horses
May never be another night like this
Well you can't stand up an' fight - 'gainst those strange forces
It's just a thing you can't afford to miss

When it cuts you like a knife - so deep it's hurtin'
But gets you goin' like a deadly kiss
Could be anythin' you want - while the world's turnin'
You never know it, till the bullet hits

(Guitar Solo)

Can't you see the lightnin' strike - run like wild horses
May never be another night like this
Well you can't stand up an' fight - 'gainst those strange forces
It's just a thing you can't afford to miss

When it cuts you like a knife - so deep it's hurtin'
But gets you goin' like a deadly kiss
Could be anythin' you want - while the world's turnin'
You never know it, till the bullet hits, come on!

Yeah! - Come on! - Yeah! - Yeah!
