Thunderbolt - Eugene McGuinness

Standing on the rocks

Gazing across the blue lagoon

Sing me a melancholy melody

From your moon

The metropolis is growling

With bulldozers and vacuums

I don’t believe in magic

But I do believe in you

Yes you, who do not operate

At escalator speed

Yes you, who function way above

All our collective leagues

While I run on a treadmill

Like a lab rat on a wheel

From no one to nowhere

Brainwashed by your weird showreel

Strike me like a thunderbolt

Strike me with a billion volts

I’m a commoner gagging out

For common assault

Strike me psycho

Thunderbolt

I see strange shadows shoot

Across my bedroom at night

Sirens swirl in neon worlds

And get me all excited

I leave my room on a moonbeam

To the ministry of sound

We’ll burn rubber, baby

With the boy racers through town

And the gods are drunk

Snorting stardust

They feast on our fears

And spunk on our trust

But paradise is ours

If we will it

Paradise is ours

If we build it

Strike me like a thunderbolt

Strike me with a billion volts

I’m a commoner gagging out

For common assault

Strike me psycho

Thunderbolt
