Memoir of a Lighting Bolt Lyrics

did you ask for forgiveness?
girl, are we still in business?
when he says that he loves you
do you feel like a mistress?
will you think of me sometimes?
when you're hiding from the sunshine?
are we following a secret code?
are we having a good time?
exiled on the east side
wind blowing in a minor key
what will you write about?
when you write about you and me?

i'm a miner for a heart of gold
getting ready to relapse
sleepwalking through the city streets
the economic collapse
sinking deeper in the concrete
sea typewriter of doom
memoir of a lightning bolt
violins in the bedroom
in a galaxy of sad eyes
with a legacy of wind and dust
what will you write about?
when you write about us?

shadow of a man, shadow of a man
hold out for a new romance
shadow of a man, shadow of a man
fall under an avalanche
shadow of a man, shadow of a man
it's much too late to turn back now

last chance for a good time
new clothes for the monarchy
what will you write about?
when you write about you and me?
in a galaxy of sad eyes
with a legacy of wind and dust
what will you write about?
when you write about us?
