lyrics

You didn’t ask, I didn’t offer
A little lamb at the slaughter
In a cubicle cage, I’ve been locked up for days
Lightning round, hit the ground, running

I feel like I’ve been up for days
Taking too many blows to the face
We’re in-bound on a north-bound train
A rat chews the cables underground on the subway.

I like your negative approach
It makes me feel great when I’m so scared
Already so scared
And I didn’t ask for this
I was only wondering
What it’d be like, be like,
To see the thunder, hear the strike.

I got a brown paper bag
I’m breathing in and out in the back, you see?
And all the people are staring at me
Pull into the station it’s a fever dream
The crowd goes wild while I’m in the ring
Big open spaces, little train car seat
A light weight tapped out, it seems
But I’ll be okay when I feel the electricity.

I didn’t ask for this
I was only wondering
What it’d be like, be like,
To see the thunder, hear the strike
And I don’t care how bad it gets
I’ll just keep muttering
What it’d be like, be like,
When I bottle lightning twice.
