Lightning Bolts by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Two lightning bolts were delivered to my room,
They were gifts from Zeus.
I rock the bolts in a bassinet of pine.
People ask me how I am,
I say I�m all right, I�m fine.
I push the lightning bolts in a pram,
Till the sun goes down and it gets dark,
And the girls from Jubilee Street hang out their
windows,
And they wave and ask me how I am tonight.
I say I�m good, I�m all right.
In Athens all the youths are crying from the gas.
I�m by the hotel pool working on a tan.
People come up and ask me who I am.
I say if you don�t know, don�t ask.
Zeus laughs � but it�s the gas.
And he asks me how I am.
I say Zeus, don�t ask.
My lightning bolts are jolts of joy,
