The Lightning I, II

fourth place anthem playing
tonight
on a broken radio
thought WE reached
the mountaintop
but now
WE just feel so low
 
the sky is breaking open
WE keep hoping
in the distance WE’ll see a glow
 
lightning light our way
’til the black sky turns back to indigo
 
WE can make it if you
don’t quit on me
I won’t quit on you
don’t quit on me
WE can make it baby
please don’t quit on me
I won’t quit on you
don’t quit on me
I never quit on you
 
WE were born in paradise
beneath a poisoned sky
under a bad sign
the micro-age of gemini...
