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 okay
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)
