Verse 1:
Wake up to bells and coffee it's just another Sunday
As far as I'm concerned there's no need to be alarmed and
I'm stuck here waiting or anticipating for
Some big storm or lightning bolt to jolt me to believing
Cuz prayer has never dealt a hand to people in distress
We fix up all the messes with science (it works, bitches)
I'm stuck here waiting or anticipating for
Some big storm or lightning bolt to jolt me AWAKE
Chorus:
Don't
Don't call my bluff, it won't be enough
To make me change my mind
And no I won't start to gloat
When life has put us behind
Don't call my bluff, it won't be enough
To make me change my mind
And no I won't think to boast
When your stuttering tongue is put in line
Verse 2:
Have you ever felt that life is just in playback?
I suppose that that's a feeling you let the thieves keep stealing
I'm stuck here waiting or anticipating for
Some big storm or lightning bolt to jolt me to believing
But you're grasping at straws, last chance to pass off all your flaws
To save you from a lost cause: a conscience dipped in torpor
I'm stuck here waiting or anticipating for
Some big storm or lightning bolt to jolt me AWAKE
Chorus
Verse 3:
Why is logic tied to a year from two thousand twelve?
As far as I'm concerned there's no need to be alarmed and
I'm stuck here waiting or anticipating for
Some big storm or lightning bolt to jolt me to believing
Don't call this a comeback as my back comes closer to a wall
Bricks and straw will be my downfall (don't cross me off, Paul)
I'm stuck here waiting or anticipating for
Some big storm or lightning bolt to jolt me AWAKE
Chorus
