"Lightning" lyrics

Mitski Lyrics

"Lightning"

Lightning hit so close
Sounded like a big tin can
All hail the rain
All hail the rain
Running like ghosts on the roof
Running like they're feeling alive again

"Here we are
We've been waiting
To be born again"

When I die
When I die
Could I come back as the rain?
See the world again
To fall again

If I'm dark
All the better
To reflect the moonlight
If I mourn
All the better
To behold the sunrise

I can hear the song of my death
Singing for the lightning to come
Calling to the thunder
"...Polo!"
