Lightning Strikes!

lyrics

LIGHTNING STRIKES!

i was hit by lightning
and just like you’d imagine, yes
it was a little bit frightening
it was a shock, a jolt to my system
i was with some friends, but the lightning missed ‘em and
hit me instead
it was a big ol’ bolt
hit me right in the head
and just like in the cartoons i could see my skeleton
i could see my skeleton
i could see my skeleton

electricity hit me
like an arrow shot from a crossbow
like shaking hands with a Jimi Hendrix guitar solo
like jumper cables hooked up to your ears
the realization of your deepest fears
it wasn't all that pleasant
i’d a rather had not been present on that day
when the lightning came my way
when that bolt of lightning hit
i didn’t like it one little bit
for weeks afterward I felt like shit
and yet I lived to tell the tale
i wrote a book all about it it’s now on sale
and I hope you’ll buy it, friend
it starts at the beginning and ends at the end
it's all about the time i was struck by lightning
and like I told you before, just as you’d imagine, yes
it’s a little bit frightening

the proverbial bolt from the blue
hurt like hell, man, I tell you true
I’d never wish such a thing on you
but I can’t say anything more,
you want more information? my book’s in the store
the title is Lightning Strikes!
it’s already got a thousand Facebook likes
so you better go buy it soon
i reckon it’ll be sold out by June
and i don’t know if or when
i’ll ever write another book again
well, maybe if another bolt hits me
or if my good girl quits me
or if i ain’t got anything better to do
maybe I’ll write another book
and it’ll be about you, be about you, be about you
maybe it'll be about you
