Look outside, dark as night could get
Soft sound of rain as it hits the ground
In this blackness, what are you thinking of?
Spare a thought for me, just a split second
Listen, you hear that? It's rolling, rolling
Building, rising, roaring, ripping through this night
Louder than anything this world could know
And it's bringing with it just a split second
There! And there, again! Blazing through the sky
Hurtling from heaven at a thousand miles a second
This lightning, offspring of the growling thunder
Crashing consummation, all in a split second
All I want from you is just some lightning with no thunder
Can you spare me this? Just this split second?
