Eugene Mcguinness – Thunderbolt

Standing on the rocks
Gazing across the blue lagoon
Sing me a melancholy melody
From your moon
The metropolis is growling
With bulldozers and vacuums
I don’t believe in magic
But I do believe in you

Yes you, who do not operate
At escalator speed
Yes you, who function way above
All our collective leagues
While I run on a treadmill
Like a lab rat on a wheel
From no one to nowhere
Brainwashed by your weird showreel

Strike me like a thunderbolt
Strike me with a billion volts
I’m a commoner gagging out
For common assault
Strike me psycho
Thunderbolt

I see strange shadows shoot
Across my bedroom at night
Sirens swirl in neon worlds
And get me all excited
I leave my room on a moonbeam
To the ministry of sound
We’ll burn rubber, baby
With the boy racers through town

And the gods are drunk
Snorting stardust
They feast on our fears
And spunk on our trust
But paradise is ours
If we will it
Paradise is ours
If we build it

Strike me like a thunderbolt
Strike me with a billion volts
I’m a commoner gagging out
For common assault
Strike me psycho
Thunderbolt
