Mr. Lightning Hands (Hyde Park Demo) Lyrics

Rest your heavy eyes under starry skies

Phantom vipers fool you and your worn out worried mind

I know you're feeling heavy, I know you're feeling heavy

I set off towards space just to see if you could hear me

You jerk awake, cold sweat in the middle of the night

The respite you were feeling has slipped to the sublime

I'll kiss you on your forehead and say that it's alright

Wondering if my words ring out, or fall like a lonely mime

Nah, surely you can hear me, I speak honestly and clearly

The truth is full of tears and I only want you near me

Low down, solar plexus, gone foreign to us all

Revolver on my hip just in case they try at all

Loud planes overhead ever since we left the city

Dust clouds rolling by but they often pass us quickly

I've been short of thunder in my mouth but I got lightning in my hands

Mr. Lightning Hands

We do a rain dance in the desert, weep out for the Mother

For she has took a beating, still we blame each other

You call me your protector, my honey bee, my nectar

She only wants your love, from here on to forever

Beauty wildflowers and mountains touch the heavens

Concrete slabs and towers, rich man you could never

Seven days, seven notes, the oceans rolls in sevens

Seven crooked highways rolling in seven directions

Try all you want, try all you want

Those sad four walls won't lie anymore

There's a dozen dead forests still we're sat on the floor

War 'round the corner but we want it no more

Call me no more, call me no more

Write me a letter but don't call me no more

Send it by horsemen, send it by four

Revolver on my hip, but I only need words

It's thunder, no war, thunder no more

Rain will pour but it's thunder no more

Lightning Hands is hanging up his ammo bandolier

And his angry band of thieves and fools has ran up outta here

Oh, oh, oh

So rest your heavy eyes under starry skies

Phantom vipers fool you and your worn out worried mind

I know you're feeling heavy, I know you're feeling heavy

I set off towards space just to see if you could hear me
