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...
