Arcade Fire — The Lightning I II

THE LIGHTNING I [Verse 1] Fourth place anthem playing tonight On a broken radio Thought we reached the mountain top But now we just feel so low The sky is breaking open, we keep hoping In the distance, we'll see a glow Lightning light our way ‘Til the black sky, turns back to indigo [Chorus] We can make it if you don’t quit on me I won't quit on you Don't quit on me We can make it, baby Please, don’t quit on me I won't quit on you Don't quit on me I'll never quit on you [Verse 2] We were born in paradise Beneath a poisoned sky Under a bad sign The micro-age of Gemini And we are still unlearning Tires are burning in the middle of Rodeo Drive Know that we've been beaten down and broken But now we could testify [Chorus] We can make it if you don't quit on me I won't quit on you Don't quit on me We can make it baby Please, don’t quit on me I won’t quit on you Don't quit on me I’ll never quit on you [Outro: Win Butler & Régine Chassagne] It's not up to you Some you win, some you lose (When the lightning comes) You don't get to choose So you win, so you lose (When the lightning comes) THE LIGHTNING II [Verse 1: Win Butler] I heard the thunder on the blue sky Perfect day, I wonder why Am I the only one? I hear the thunder and I feel I'm going under, Jesus Christ Was an only son [Pre-Chorus: Win Butler & Régine Chassagne] A day, a week, a month, a year A day, a week, a month, a year Every second brings me here A day, a week, a month, a year A day, a week, a month, a year Every second brings me here [Chorus: Win Butler & Régine Chassagne] Waiting on the lightning Waiting on the lightning Waiting on the light What will the light bring? [Verse 2: Win Butler] I heard the thunder and I thought it was the answer But I find, I got the question wrong I was trying to run away But a voice told me to stay And put a feeling in a song [Pre-Chorus: Win Butler & Régine Chassagne] A day, a week, a month, a year A day, a week, a month, a year Every second brings you here A day, a week, a month, a year A day, a week, a month, a year Every second brings you here [Chorus: Win Butler & Régine Chassagne] Waiting on the lightning Waiting on the lightning Waiting on the light What will the light bring? Waiting on the lightning Waiting on the lightning Waiting on the light What will the light bring?
