Jake Bugg - Lightning Bolt Lyrics

Morning
It's another pure grey morning
Don't know what the day is holding
And I get fightin'
Hoping I walk right into
The path of a lightning bolt

The siren
Of an ambulance comes howling
Right through the centre of town and
No one blinks an eye
And I look up to the sky
For the path of a lightning bolt

Met her
As the angels parted for her
But she only brought me torture
But that's what happens
When it's you that's standing
In the path of a lightning bolt

Everyone I see just walks the walk
With gritted teeth
But I just stand by
And I wait my time
They say you gotta toe the line
They want the water not the wine
But when I see the signs
I'll jump on that lightning bolt

And chances
People tell you not to take chances
And they tell you that there aren't any answers
And I was starting to agree
But I awoke suddenly
In the path of a lightning bolt

And fortune
People talking all about fortune
Do you make it or does it just call you
In the blinking of an eye
Just another passer by
In the path of a lightning bolt

Everyone I see just walks the walk
With gritted teeth
But I just stand by
And I wait my time
They say you gotta toe the line
They want the water not the wine
But when I see the signs
I'll jump on that lightning bolt

In silent
I was lying back gazing skyward
When the moment got shattered
I remembered what she said
And then she fled into the
path of a lightning bolt
