Oh, Notorious Lightning! Yes, I had to ride you
    A5                              C5      D5
And trash the crystal jets they kept in storage inside you!
F5                G5
I was told never to question it.
             C5              E5            A5              D5               F5
Now I'm facing twenty years for every night I tried to ingest the snow so lightly! (huh?)

C5
You simply couldn't put down the Black Book.
                E5
You dreamt the dreams of the Self-Taught Man.
           A5
You warn the ladies not to be corrupted by their looks,
       F5                        C5
But your voice comes out soft and slanted!
         F5                        E5
And you're living off what government's granted you:
G5               D5
Amnesty from the true
                                         F5                       G5
Thing. Now, Sandra, slowly remove the ring and watch Notorious Lightning surround you.
      F5                    G5
Watch Notorious Lightning surround you.
      F5                    G5                F5
Watch Notorious Lightning surround you.

C5
I lay myself down to observe your gilded jeans hit the ground,
           A5
And have not grown from this worship.
           C5
I lay myself down to surrender,

Watch the trust funds gorge us again,
           A5
And have not grown from this worship.
        C5
So, Great Pretender, pull a face! Let's see the best 'forlorn you know!'
                 A5
Just don't sing, "Barricades In The Morning" - it's been three days in a row
       F5                  C5
And it never comes off like you planned it!
          F5                         C5
Something once was delivered, then you banned it
     G5                D5
But, oh, there is a key to this thing...
G5
Notorious Lightning...

C5
There is a monument.
             E5
There is a place within it that I have won.
           A5
And there is victory at sea.
                 F5
And then there's the sun
         C5
Crashing down upon us
E5                  
Faithful readership of the Old Warden. We beg -
A5                                       F5
"No not another ode to the Garden! You've let the Book of Appeals pile up!"
                    C5
So, Child of the East, it's time
                          E5
To shrug off the Beast and take a look at what you've done.
                A5
The half-breed jury agrees you're OK,
                                   F5
But what they never seem to say is that it's never
            G5
The defense's witness...

                                    C5            E5
AND SOMEONE'S GOT TO FALL BEFORE SOMEONE GOES FREE!
