The World Is Lit By Lightning Lyrics


Deacon Blue The World Is Lit By Lightning

Lead voc:                               Choir:
So maybe you`re standing
In some foreign town
You`ve walked for miles
Till the heat slows you down
And your jeans and your curls
Are bleached
And split
And your money and your anger
Are all used up
Maybe I`m sorry
About the light in this place
Makes my heart seem cold
As the words on these pages
Maybe I`m reminded
By a shop window displays or a decoration
Like some church candle
That might just burn
Might just burn
`Cause we`re dancing under chandeliers
And I`m telling you
Caught in the headlights
And I`m yelling it at you
Why is it girl
When the world is lit by lightning
That I keep telling you
That I love you
So you`re ten miles out
Of this city at night
When do coloured lights
Become paint and glass and dust
And how I wonder
What light to trust
The light of the distance
Or the light might just burn
Might just burn
`Cause we`re dancing under chandeliers
And I`m telling you
Caught in the headlights
And I`m yelling it at you
Why is it girl
When the world is lit by lightning
That I keep telling you
I keep telling you
I keep telling you
We`re dancing under chandeliers
And I`m telling you
We`re caught in the headlights
And I`m yelling it at you
Why is it girl
When the world is lit by lightning
Seraphim and Cherubim
Skies full of gold dust
Moonshine and starlight
Pockets full of rainbows
Windows and mirrored balls
Porcelain and silverlake
Dance hall neons flash and swing
Blow out your candles
                                        It will call you
Angel
Angel
Angel
Angel
Angel
When the world knows your name
We`re dancing under chandeliers
And I`m telling you
Caught in the headlights
And I`m yelling it at you
Why is it girl
When the world is lit by lightning
That I keep telling you
That I love you
We`re dancing under chandeliers
And I`m telling you
Caught in the headlights
And I`m yelling it at you
Why is it girl
When the world is lit by lightning
That I keep telling you
That I love you
I love you
I love you
When the world
When the world
When the world knows your name
When the world
When the world
When the world knows your name
When the world knows your name
When the world knows your name
When the world knows your name
We`re dancing under chandeliers
And I`m telling you
Caught in the headlights
And I`m yelling it at you
Why is it girl
When the world is lit by lightning
That I keep telling you
That I love you
