Lightning Strikes Lyrics

What you gonna do when the lightning strikes and hits you?
Who you gonna call for the secret to stealing the world?
Swimming in this ocean of words on your new cellphone
Diving for the wisdom of pearls, in your eyes

Come on

What you gonna do when the lightning strikes and hits you?
How you gonna laugh when the joker forgets his lines?
Stepping off a cloud into space, whatever greets you
Show me how you got this award for being alive

Waking up is waking to the power
Dancing up is dancing to the dawn
Talk talk talk will always get you someplace
Shake it up 'n' shake me 'til I'm done
Shake it up now

She-yeah ... doo wop bop
She-yeah ... doo wop bop
She-yeah ... doo wop bop
She-yeah ... doo wop bop

Who you gonna call when the power begins to chase you?
Spinning out of shape now you're learning to live again
Fastening your seatbelt tonight it could get jumpy
Showing me the good 'n' that life is not in vain

Take take take, take me through the lightning
Walk don't talk, me always on the run
Rid it out until you get the picture
Shake it up, let me get me some
Let me get me some

Yeah, he say, touch it together
Touching my spirit, touching my feeling
Yeah, he say, touch it together
Touching my spirit, touching my feeling
Yeah, he say, coming together
Touching my spirit, touching my feeling
Yeah, he say, coming together
Touching my spirit, touching my feeling

Talk talk talk keep moving 'round in circles
Moving 'til the moon is on the run
Take me take me take me to the new day
Take me out, let me get me some

Take take take me dancing through the lightning
Face to face

Moving to the left and to the sun

Yeah yeah yeah
Help me get me some
Yeah
Help me get me some

Ooh yeah
Ooh yeah
Ooh yeah
Ooh yeah
Ooh yeah
Ooh yeah
Ooh yeah

Me too!!! I LOVED this song when I was little! This is like my ultimate childhood memory song. Well, all of Yes is... Especially the Ladder album... But this song is the most.

Haha, I remember trying to interpret it driving from Colorado to Cali... Fun stuff

I have no idea, But "What you gonna do when the lightening stricks and hits you" seems like something to do with Karma...
