Cause face is the place

Where the private goes public

And steps through the gate

Take your last kick now

At any regime

Smile no smile

See if they see what you mean

Da da da...

Lightning struck a while ago

And it's blazing much too fast

But give it rain of waiting time

And it will surely pass

Blow over

And it's happening so quickly

As I feel the flaming time

And I grope about the embers

To relieve my stormy mind

Blow over

Shaken this has left me

And laughing and undone

With a blinding bolt of sleeplessness

That's just begun

And a windy crazy running

Through the nights and through the days

And a crackling

Of the time burned away

Burned away

Now I feel it in my blood

All hot and sharp and white

With a whipcrack and a thunder

And a flash of flooding light

But there'll be a thick and moky

Silence in the air

When the fire finally dies

And I'm wondering who'll be left there
