Lightning Rods Paroles

jack o lantern
smashed and thrown out
maybe i
ask for it
like lightning
rods in torrents
maybe you'll
forget this
just like homeless
after christmas

still burning
now quiet
like buildings
after riots
throw me and
forget me
just like flowers
after weddings
just use me for all this
just like sober
alcoholics

and if you ever see me falling
i'll be the hammer
you'll be the nail
and if you ever see me falling
you'll be the sidewalk
i'll be the hail

now watch me melt away
