作词：David Byrne

作曲：Philip Glass

Lightning struck

A while ago

Blazing much too fast

But give it rain

Of waiting time

And it will surely pass

And it will surely pass

Blow over

And it's happening so quickly

And I feel the flaming time

And I grope about the embers

To release my stormy mind

To release my stormy mind

Blow over

Blow over

Shaken this has left me

And laughing and undone

With a blinding bolt of sleeplessness

That's just begun

And a windy crazy running

Through the nights and through the days

And a crackling

Of the time burned away

Burned away

Burned away

Now I feel it in my blood

All hot and sharp and white

With a whipcrack

And thunder

And a flash of flooding light

A flash of flooding light

Ohh ohh oh

But there'll be a thick and smokey

Silence in the air

When the fire finally dies

Who'll be left there

Ohh In the ashes of time

Burned away

Burned away
