When Lightning Bugs Arrive

We're slipping
And we're sliding
And we're riding
On a sinister wave

We're tripping
And we're crumbling
And we're shooting
Off a rocket to space

A challenger, avenger
We're all ready to explode
Today

And since you came along
We couldn't find a better place
To dismay

So if you're feeling seasick
On this roller coaster ride
We see in the fires the clearest view
When lightning bugs arrive

We're splitting
And we're falling
And we're hiding
From a voice below
Way down below

We're holding
Onto something
That is nothing
And we don't want to know
Who wants to know

'Cause from the very start
We didn't want to fall apart
We didn't see the string
That kept us all alive

So if you're feeling seasick
On this roller coaster ride
We'll soon find out
Who finds the clearest view
When all your lightning bugs arrive
