The Arcade Fire - The Lightning I Lyrics

Fourth place anthem playing tonight

On a broken radio

Thought we reached the mountaintop

But now we just feel so low

The sky is breaking open, we keep hoping

In the distance, we'll see a glow

Lightning, light our way

'Til the black sky turns back to indigo



We can make it if you don't quit on me

I won't quit on you

Don't quit on me

We can make it, baby

Please, don't quit on me

I won't quit on you

Don't quit on me

I'll never quit on you



We were born in paradise

Beneath the poisoned sky

Under a bad sign

The micro age of Gemini

And we are still unlearning

Tires are burning in the middle of Rodeo drive

You know that we've been beat down and broken

But now we can testify, ooh



We can make it if you don't quit on me

I won't quit on you

Don't quit on me

We can make it, baby

Please, don't quit on me

I won't quit on you

Don't quit on me

I'll never quit on you



It's not up to you

Some you win, some you lose (when the lightning comes)

You don't get to choose

Some you win, some you lose (when the lightning comes)



One, two, three, four
