Del Amitri - At the End of the Lightning lyrics

The western approaches go by in a flash
And the joke I call home is
Just a party I crash
So I lie on the pillow so desperate to go
Back to the playground of the show

I look from the window
Watch the world standing still
Feel the floorboards sliding with just
The force of will i taste the dirt of the
Cities that I thundered through
See the battalions of taxis that I fell into

At the end of the lightning is
The life that I know
I hit the ground like a hailstone
And melt into the flow as you lay dying
I was coasting on a shaky stage
Living large at the end of the lightning
Tеaring out another page

My five o'clock shadow has
Turnеd to midnight snow
I share laughs with your widow
But the punchline I don't wanna know
I pine for the motion and long
For the van to go
Be at the other end of the lightning
With the ground so far below
