slow education

when god was young

he made the wind and the sun

and since then

it's been a slow education

and you got that one idea again

the one about dying

oh

oh

oh i'm lightning

oh

oh

oh i'm rain

oh

oh

oh it's frightning

i'm not the same

i'm not the same

i'm not the same

there's a screen door banging in the wind

remember you wanted to be like george washington back then

everybody going down on themselves

no pardon me's or fair thee wells in the end

and you got that one idea again

the one about dying

oh

oh

oh i'm lightning

oh

oh

oh i'm rain

oh

oh

oh it's frightning

i'm not the same

i'm not the same

i'm not the same
