Destroyer - Notorious Lightning lyrics

Oh, Notorious Lightning! Yes
I had to ride you and trash the crystal
Jets they kept in storage inside you!
I was told never to question it
Now I'm facing twenty years for every night I
Tried to ingest the snow so lightly! huh?

You simply couldn't put down the Black Book
You dreamt the dreams of the Self Taught Man
You warn the ladies not to
Be corrupted by their looks
But, your voice comes out soft and slanted!
And you're living off what
The government's granted
You: amnesty from the true thing
Now, Sandra
Slowly remove the ring and watch
Notorious Lightning surround you

Watch Notorious Lightning surround you
Watch Notorious Lightning surround you

I lay myself down to observe your
Gilded jeans hit the ground
And have not grown from this worship
I lay myself down to surrender, watch
The trust funds gorge us again
And have not grown from this worship
So, Great Pretender, pull a face!
Let's see the best 'forlorn' you know!
Just don't sing
"Barricades In The Morning" - it's
Been three days in a
Row and it never comes off
Like you planned it!
Something once was delivered
Then you banned it!
But, oh, there is a key to this thing
Notorious Lightning

There is a monument
There is a place within it that I have won
And there is victory at sea
And then there's the sun
Crashing down upon us
- faithful readership of the Old Warden
We beg - "No not another ode to the Garden!
You've let the Book of Appeals pile up!"
So, Child of the East
It's time to shrug off the Beast and
Take a look at what you've done
The half-breed jury agrees you're OK
But what they never seem to say is
That it's never the defense's witness
And someone's got to fall
Before someone goes free!

And someone's got to fall
Before someone goes free
And someone's got to fall
Before someone goes free
And someone's got to fall
Before someone goes free
And someone's got to fall
Before someone goes free
And someone's got to fall
Before someone goes free
And someone's got to fall
Before someone goes free
And someone's got to fall
Before someone goes free
And someone's got to fall
Before someone goes free
And someone's got to fall
Before someone goes free
And someone's got to fall
Before someone goes free
And someone's got to fall
Before someone goes free
And someone's got to fall
Before someone goes free
And someone's got to fall
Before someone goes free
And someone's got to fall
Before someone goes free
