White Lightening

John Waite

When I was young

They took me to the dentist

I had a toothache

But that's okay

They gave me some time

And that night in my bedroom

I worked it loose

Like I used to do

One little boy in a dentist's chair

Heard a hundred angels

flying past him

What a gas

Sitting there

The same little boy with a few more years

Took a sniff of this

A taste of that

What a drag

Nothing there

And then one day he saw you walk

And heard you didn't talk

Saw the writing on the wall

It didn't thunder anymore

White lightening it's got nothing on you

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Oh it didn't shine like you Lord

White lightening way out in the blue

With a million angels singin'

Oh it didn't sound like you Lord

Come on to tell when I tell you to breathe in

I will take out everything while you're sleeping

Always refusing the heavenly music

When you awake it will have a new meaning

White lightening it's got nothing on you

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Oh it didn't shine like you Lord

White lightening way out in the blue

With a million angels singin'

Oh it didn't sound like you Lord

Come on to tell when I tell you to breathe in

I will take out everything while you're sleeping

Always refusing the heavenly music

When you awake it will have a new meaning

White lightening it's got nothing on you

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Oh it didn't shine like you Lord

White lightening way out in the blue

With a million angels singin'

Oh it didn't sound like you Lord
