lightning man

pretenders, the

the demons got the better of you

that's what demons do

the demons can't destroy

nothing can

destroy the soul or rise above the lightning of a music man

we had a rich and wild adventure

life in love and melody

battle and we ruled it

recorded every felony

think that they can have you

they're deluded and confused

the demons got the better of you

well

that's what demons do

the demons can't destroy

nothing can

destroy the soul or rise above the lightning of a music man

oh

and the soul of a man wrestles with the pack

seems like an advantage when they're going to attack

and nothing can can reign

above the music in the heart

it was always on the cards

no use denying it

devil offered something

you were up for trying it

stashed it in the grooves

now we're dancing to the beat

the demons got the better of you

well

that's what demons do

but demons can't destroy you

can't destroy you

nothing can

the justice swift

in name and soul and spirit

the justice swift

and we're standing by

we're standing by

the demons got the better of you

well

that's what demons do

the demons can't destroy

nothing can

destroy the soul or rise above the lightning of a music man
