Lightning Up! And shake the ground Is that a horn that's blowing? Or a bell that's tolling? Walls are falling Ships pulled out from their mooring Is that a river or just a road the storm has stolen? And this will predict the times these signs will bring Me and my stupid heart We were never apart But now sugar won't work Lightning Up! And fly the coop Far from this tin-pan alley oop Did you think I was your dupe? I hear such lies and howlers Words to pull out your molars And this will predict the times these signs will bring Me and my stupid heart We were never apart But now sugar won't work Lightning Up! Sugar the pill A wall of ocean ten miles high Metal darts torn from the sky Like wanton boys make noise pull wings from flies And this will predict the times these signs will bring Me and my stupid heart We were never apart But now sugar won't work
