FOh, NGotorious Lightning! Yes, I had to ride you
And Amtrash tChe Dcrystal jets they kept in storage inside you!
FI was tGold never to question it.
Now I'm Cfacing tweEmnty years Amfor eDvery nFight I tried to ingest the snow so lightly! (huh?)
CYou simply couldn't put down the Black Book.
You dreamt Emthe dreams of the Self-Taught Man.
You waAmrn the ladies not to be corrupted by their looks,
BuFt your voiCce comes out soft and slanted!
And Fyou'rEme living off what government's granted you:
GAmnesty froDmm the true
Thing. Now, FSandra, Gslowly remove the ring and watch Notorious Lightning surround you.
Watch FNotoriGous Lightning surround you.
Watch FNotoriGous Lightning surFround you.
CI lay myself down to observe your gilded jeans hit the ground,
And haAmve not grown from this worship.
I lay Cmyself down to surrender,
Watch the trust funds gorge us again,
And haAmve not grown from this worship.
So, CGreat Pretender, pull a face! Let's see the best 'forlorn you know!'
Just doAmn't sing, "Barricades In The Morning" - it's been three days in a row
And it FneveCr comes off like you planned it!
Something Fonce was deClivered, then you banned it
But, Goh, theDmre is a key to this thing...
GNotorious Lightning...

CThere is a monument.
TheEmre is a place within it that I have won.
And thAmere is victory at sea.
And theFn there's the sun
Crashing Cdown upon us
EmFaithful readership of the Old Warden. We beg -
Am"No not anoFther ode to the Garden! You've let the Book of Appeals pile up!"
So, Child Cof the East, it's time
To shrEmug off the Beast and take a look at what you've done.
The haAmlf-breed jury agrees you're OK,
But what tFhey never seem to say is that it's never
The defGense's witness...
AND SOMEONEC'S EGOT TO FALL BEFORE SOMEONE GOES FREE!
AND SOMEONEF'S GOT TO GFALL BEFORE SOMEONE GOES FREE!
AND SOMEONEC'S EGOT TO FALL BEFORE SOMEONE GOES FREE!
AND SOMEONE'FS GGOT TO FALL BEFORE SOMEONE GOES FREE!
AND SOMEONEC'S EGOT TO FALL BEFORE SOMEONE GOES FREE!

Oh, Notorious Lightning! Yes, I had to ride you

Am C D

And trash the crystal jets they kept in storage inside you!

F G

I was told never to question it.

C Em Am D F

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,

F C

But your voice comes out soft and slanted!

F Em

And you're living off what government's granted you:

G Dm

Amnesty from the true

F G

Thing. Now, Sandra, slowly remove the ring and watch Notorious Lightning surround you.

F G

Watch Notorious Lightning surround you.

F G F

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

F C

And it never comes off like you planned it!

F C

Something once was delivered, then you banned it

G Dm

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 -

Am F

"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...
