Lyrics
A Kiss Like Lightning
A kiss like lightning rips through the numbness
Three seconds and counting, my whole life changes
A kiss like lightning tears through
This frozen underground shelter
I do believe I'm dreaming
Feels like I'm dreaming
Thank God I'm dreaming
Under cover of darkness or in the glare of the morning light,
Will I ever fall into your arms in this life?
In this life
A spider spins her mystery in silence
Three minutes and counting, I am bound by her labor
A spider spins and weaves, a timeless, amoral endeavor
I do believe I'm dying,
Feels like I'm dying
Thank God I'm dying
Under cover of darkness or in the glare of hte morning light,
Will I ever fall into your arms in this life, in this life?
Under cover of darkness or in the glare of the morning light,
Do you think I might come to your arms in the next life,
Ah, the next life.
My guardian angel stands at the fountain
A brush of her shoulder and I remain human
My guardian angel takes away all grieving contemplation
I do believe it's raining
Smells like it's raining
Thank God it's raining.
Under cover of darkness or in the glare of the morning light
I will never fall into your arms in this life, in this life
Under cover of darkness or in the glare of the morning light
(You won't see me there)
I will never return to your arms in this life, in this life,
In this life.
