Lightning Strikes Twice Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I feel the breeze on my face in expectance
Not very long before the storm reaches here
Off in the distance, the lightning is flashing again
Feel something strong as the power draws near
Is it the rolling of thunder that scares you?
Is it the crashing of clouds that hold fear?
But all I know, as I sit in a corner alone
It takes me back to my childhood again
[Verse 2]
And as I wait, and I look for an answer
To all the things going round in my head
I ask myself: could it be a disaster and when
It's maybe threatening to happen again?
[Verse 3]
As the ominous light draws near
There's a lone dog, howls in the park
All the people hurry inside
As a lightning flash lights dark
The storm is nearly here
[Pre-Chorus]
Only God will know
[Verse 4]
You're sitting alone, you watch
As the wind's blowing treetops
And the swaying rustling of leaves
Plenty of time to perceive
As you wait for rain to fall
[Pre-Chorus]
Only God knows
The whole sky glows
[Chorus]
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice
[Guitar Solos]
[Pre-Chorus]
Only God knows
The whole sky glows
[Chorus]
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice
The Educated Fool Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm an educated fool
So, I don't know what is I'm supposed to do
About this awkward situation
That's been forced down right upon me
As I'm walking down into
On my own into the valley of life
Got a lifetime of experience
Yeah, I've got so much to give
[Verse 2]
Open the page on chapter one
Could this just be that life's just begun
Forever within your darker thoughts
Reflecting on everything you've been taught
[Verse 3]
Never felt this way before
Seems that somebody's just opened the door
To the book of life... or is it death?
Is there ever any way out?
Someone's looking down on me
To the very inner core of my soul
They won't tell me what they see
But I really want to know
[Chorus 1]
I want to live my life on my own
I want to lift the unturned stone
I want to walk right into the fire
I want to live out all my desires
I want to go and see the fire burn
I want to see and feel my world turn
I want to know what more there's to learn
I want to pass the point of no return
[Verse 4]
Do you really wanna be
Just another one statistic, or feel
That you really should aspire?
That you really do deserve more?
Do you ever really feel
That you have so much potential inside?
What you really have to give
Could be realised much more
[Chorus 1]
I want to live my life on my own
I want to lift the unturned stone
I want to walk right into the fire
I want to live out all my desires
I want to go and see the fire burn
I want to see and feel my world turn
I want to know what more there's to learn
I want to pass the point of no return
[Bridge]
Time will flow, and I will follow
Time will go, but I will follow
Time will flow, and I will follow
Time will go, but I will follow
[Guitar Solos]
[Chorus 2]
I want to feel what life's like respond
I want to meet my father beyond
I want to walk right into the light
I want to feel no fear but delight
I want to live my life on my own
I want to lift the unturned stone
I want to walk right into the fire
I want to live out all my desires
[Bridge]
Time will flow, and I will follow
Time will go, but I will follow
Time will flow, and I will follow
Time will go, but I will follow
Time will go, and I will follow
Time will go, but I will follow
[Outro]
The educated fool
Don’t Look to the Eyes of a Stranger Lyrics
[Intro]
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Don't look through the eyes of a fool
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Somebody's watching when the light goes down
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Don't look through the eyes of a fool
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Somebody's watching when the night comes down
[Verse 1]
Feel someone's watching you
You've got to get away
Is it the first time
You've ever felt this scared?
Feel the adrenaline pump
Your heart begins to race
Begin to run now
The sweat runs down your face
[Verse 2]
Don't know which way to turn
You'd better hide yourself
He's getting close now
You'd better improvise
Just hope you never reach
The point of no return
Could be the last time
You see the light of day
[Chorus]
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Don't look through the eyes of a fool
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Somebody's watching when the night goes down
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Don't look through the eyes of a fool
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Somebody's watching when the light goes down
[Bridge]
Don't look to, don't look to
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Don't look to, don't look to
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Don't look to, don't look to
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Don't look to, don't look to, don't look to
Don't look to, don't look to, don't look to
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Don't look to, don't look to
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Don't look to, don't look to
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Don't look to, don't look to, don't look to
Don't look to, don't look to, don't look to
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Don't look to, don't look to
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Don't look to, don't look to
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Don't look to, don't look to, don't look to
Don't look to, don't look to, don't look to
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Don't look to, don't look to
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Don't look to, don't look to
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Don't look to, don't look to, don't look to
Don't look to, don't look to, don't look to
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Don't look to, don't look to
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Don't look to, don't look to
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Don't look to, don't look to
Don't look to, don't look to
[Instrumental Break: 5:24-6:59]
[Chorus]
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Don't look through the eyes of a fool
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Somebody's watching when the night goes down
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Don't look through the eyes of a fool
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Somebody's watching when the light goes down
[Outro]
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
