White Lightning

Sprinkle salt and pepper upon my distasteful flavor It’s been a while, baby Since I saw you smile freely I like to say ‘yes’…I’d like to say ‘yes’ To your beautiful face… It was never a disgrace Graceful gifts exchange Waiting for a change for a change White lightning Can be rather frightening Mighty storms in my mind I’ve come to unwind It’s been a while, darlin’ Where have you been? Where have you been? I don’t like to say ‘no’…to you, no, no I see your face shine aglow Shine aglow Go with the flow Go with the flow Go with the flow Graceful gifts exchange Waiting for a change for a change White lightning Can be rather frightening Mighty storms in my mind I’ve come to unwind Time heals all wounds There’s nothin’ on my mind Everyone’s actin’ like a million baboons I see a million moons There’s nothin’ to find But, there’s peace to find Graceful gifts exchange Waiting for a change for a change White lightning Can be rather frightening Mighty storms in my mind I’ve come to unwind Shadows…reflections… In all directions Gazing at the stars Grazing in my own maze…mend not my scars Mend not my scars Graceful gifts exchange Waiting for a change for a change White lightning Can be rather frightening Mighty storms in my mind I’ve come to unwind Ridiculous colors Blurs my vision Everything around me blurs Failing at my mission To succeed… Sick of the greed Graceful gifts exchange Waiting for a change for a change White lightning Can be rather frightening Mighty storms in my mind I’ve come to unwind Graceful gifts exchange Waiting for a change for a change Brainwashed as a wild child Running wild…running wild… Sweet, sweet sorrow Of yesterday’s tomorrow Clothes me…so warm, you die in my arms Your eyes close – no longer releasing charms Chandeliers of hope Hang like a hope rope I mope…I hope…I cope With pain...addicted to you as if you’re my dope I need I want I feed You haunt It’s hard to stomach your bad news Singin’ the blues…finding many, many clues Sprinkle salt and pepper upon my distasteful flavor Graceful gifts exchange Waiting for a change for a change Graceful gifts exchange Waiting for a change for a change...
