Lightning Is My Girl Lyrics

I forget how I first heard this song, but there was a part of me that loved it, and a part of me that hated it. I love the way she sounds, but the lyrics. They're just nagging or something.

"Gonna let the lightning Tuck me into my bed Gonna let that man Let him into my head I’ll see you in my dreams"

I like that part!...

"Electrified and cherry red"

"Cherry" just seems so out of place. For lyrics that are otherwise dark and haunting, where does cherry red, and cherry cola fit in? I love the imagry that she presents of a dark man that visits her in her dreams, but adding in cherry cola reminds me of song lyrics I wrote in Junior High.

I really want to like it. I love her voice, but the lyrics...

Maybe thats the point though, makes you uneasy, like crooked lines, or a pebble in your shoe...
