Lyrics: 

Intro: 

She comes on like a stone 
But you don't know where from she was thrown 
Like a burning meteor from miles high 

Looking for a place to land  
She said, "Have you got yourself some sand?" 
And whatever you replied 
She took as, "Yes" 

Verse: 

Now she comes after thee 
With her newly planted seeds and soon 
You're prone down on your knees and there you dig 

And then before you know the weeds are  
Obesely overgrown with all the 
Wild seed she sows in your sleep 

Chorus: 

You gotta know you'll never let her go 
Lightning bolt 

Interlude: 

Always something and never nothing  
Isn't that, the way we're thought to be? 

Flipping through the worn out pages  
And stages when you knew not who to be 
Til the lightning strike set you free 

Chorus: 

You gotta know you'll never let her go 
Lightning bolt 

Verse: 

The crashing stormy waves erode her 
Shoreline everyday until the 
Castle of her ways turn to sand 

She holds her lovely breast 
As her birds fall from the nest 
Flying toward the great northwest, yeh yeh yeh 

Outro: 

And with no repair in sight 
There is no God with such might 
As to open her world wide with subterfuge 

And your death will soon arrive 
As she finally decides that all her 
Problems, they won't die with you
