Lightning Bolt - Live Songtext
von Pearl Jam

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, "You got yourself some sand"
And whatever would you reply she took as yes

She comes out the deep?
With her newly planted seeds
And soon you're thrown down on your knees
And then you′re dead
Then before you know, the weeds are all beastly overgrown
With all the wild seeds he sews in your sleeve

You gotta know, you'll never let her go
She's a lightning bolt
Lightning bolt
Lightning bolt, lightning


Always something and never nothing
Isn′t that the way we′re taught to be, to be
Flipping through the worn out pages
And stages when you knew not who to be
Yeah, yeah
Until the lightning strike sets you free, hey

You gotta know, you'll never let her go
She′s a lightning bolt
Lightning bolt
Lightning bolt, yeah

The crashing stormy waves erode her shoreline everyday
Until the castle of her ways turns to sand
She holds her lovely breast as her birds fall from her nest
Flying towards the great northwest, yeah, yeah, yeaf

And with no repair in sight
There is no god with such might
As you open her world wide with such a view
And your death will soon arrive as she finally decides
That all her problems, they won't die with you

Yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah


She′s a lightning bolt
Uncontrollable
She's a lightning bolt
She′s true
She's rock 'n roll
She′s a lightning bolt
Uncontrollable
Like you, you
