I know, I know they're threatening
but at least we're not the ones carrying
such heavy, heavy, heavy stoning stones.
oh, lightning may strike your poor heart tonight
but it won't happen twice, my friend
and all the love you deserve is coming on stormy winds
and i was jealous and cruel to a young girl i knew
but it wont happen twice, my friend
oh, if i get the chance i'll be braver like holy wine
and disaster has riddled my body with holes
but it won't happen twice, my friend
and i know it because i know it, child
it can not happen again
and a hurricane blew my bright stars away
but it won't happen twice, my friend.
i'm flat on my back and i'm traveling like dizzy spells
all these inside fires have burned up these outside things
but it won't happen twice, my friend
and i know it because i know it, child
it can not happen again
