There's a funny lightning 'round the corner hiding but I'm too smart just to catch it with gloves and rubber
So I stay put right here, watching the sky for tears
Let the fools and cowboys roar to wrecks
But if I should wake up and find my home's in half
Who is it?
Blame nature
I guess I have to laugh
And if I should wake up and find my bed has moved six inches, six closer to the west
But this funny lightning I wanna invite in if I could learn how to teach it
I salt the corners of my room because, because a ghost can never be too careful
And if I should wake up and find my home's in half
Who did it?
Oh nature, I hope you have a laugh
And if I should wake up and find my bed has moved twelve inches, twelve closer to my god
Whip crash there's a flash and I'm back to wanting more
The crack is movin' up the wall
Whip crash there's flash and I'm back to wanting more
I can't help thinking this is war
Whip crash there's a flash and I'm back to wanting more
The crack is movin' up the wall
Whip crash there's flash and I'm back to wanting more
I can't help thinking this is war
There's a funny lightning, threatening with striking but it moves too quick for a picture There's a funny lightning 'round the corner hiding but I'm too smart just to catch it with gloves and rubber So I stay put right here, watching the sky for tears Let the fools and cowboys roar to wrecks But if I should wake up and find my home's in half Who is it? Blame nature I guess I have to laugh And if I should wake up and find my bed has moved six inches, six closer to the west But this funny lightning I wanna invite in if I could learn how to teach it I salt the corners of my room because, because a ghost can never be too careful And if I should wake up and find my home's in half Who did it? Oh nature, I hope you have a laugh And if I should wake up and find my bed has moved twelve inches, twelve closer to my god Whip crash there's a flash and I'm back to wanting more The crack is movin' up the wall Whip crash there's flash and I'm back to wanting more I can't help thinking this is war Whip crash there's a flash and I'm back to wanting more The crack is movin' up the wall Whip crash there's flash and I'm back to wanting more I can't help thinking this is war Explain Request ×
