The Shock of the Lightning

I’m all over my heart’s desire,
I feel cold but I’m back in the fire,
Out of control but I’m tied up tight,
Come in, come out tonight..

Comin’ up in the early morning,
I feel love in the shock of the lightning,
I fall into the blinding light,
Come in, come out, come in, come out tonight..

Love is a time machine,
Up on the silver screen,
It’s all in my mind,
Love is a litany,
A magical mystery,
And all in good time, and all in good time,
And all in good time..

I got my feet on the street but I can’t stop flyin’,
My head is in the clouds but at least I’m tryin’,
I’m out of control but I’m tied up tight,
Come in, come out tonight..

There’s a hole in the ground into which I’m fallin’,
So God’s speed to the sound of the poundin’,
I’m all into the blinding light,
Come in, come out, come in, come out tonight..

Love is a time machine,
Up on the silver screen,
It’s all in my mind,
Love is a litany,
A magical mystery,
And all in good time, and all in good time,
And all in good time..

It’s all in my mind,
Love is a time machine,
Up on the silver screen,
And all in good time, and all in good time,
And all in good time..

Yes

When it started we had high hopes
Now my back’s on the line
My back’s on the ropes

When it started we were alright
But night makes a fool
of us in the daylight

Then we were dying of frustration
Saying Lord lead me not into temptation
But it’s not easy when she turns you on
Sin, stay gone

If you’d only, if you’d only say yes
Whether you will’s anybody’s guess
God only God knows I’m trying my best
But I’m just so tired of this loneliness

Hey

So up they picked me by the big toe
I was held from the rooftop then they let go
Dizzily screaming ‘Let the windows down’
As I crawl to the ground

If you’d only if you’d only say yes
Whether you will’s anybody’s guess
God only God knows she won’t let me rest
But I’m just so tired of this loneliness
I have become so tired of this loneliness…

Step by Step

Step by step
All the happy Saints go marching in
And if one of those Saints step out of line
He’ll have to start again
Cause Jacob’s golden ladder
Gets slippery at the top
And many a happy-go-lucky saint
Has made that long long drop

If I’m late don’t wait
Go on without me
I may tarry awhile
Cause I need to know
Before I go
How come the Devil smiles

If I’m late don’t wait
Go on without me
I may tarry awhile
Cause I need to know
Before I go
How come the Devil smiles

Free from care
Free from sin
The Saints are trooping in
The children play all around the throne
Innocent of sin
A trillion voices sing the name
The mortals may not know
And Heaven’s walls are too high to hear
The trouble down below

If I’m late don’t wait
Go on without me
I may tarry awhile
Cause I need to know
Before I go
How come the Devil smiles
I need to know
Before I go
How come the Devil smiles
I need to know
Before I go
How come the Devil smiles
