Tom Verlaine - Flash Lightning [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I was torn out by the roots
And laid out to dry
My head was spinning
My, oh my
Well I walk the plank
And crawl through the mine
Just searching for you
So many many times
Well I've been told
About a thousand rules
They don't belong to me
They weren't made for you
When you flash lightning
You flash lightning
You flash lightning
You flash lightning

You're the keeper of the flame
Someone no-one can tame
Your Royal Highness, I'm at your call
Shall I rise or shall I fall?

When I heard your name
I looked into my cup
Lo, and behold
The seven seas came up
When I hear your voice
The arrow flies
The street turns silver
And the fools get wise
When you flash lightning
You flash lightning
You flash lightning
You flash lightning

You're the keeper of the flame
Someone no-one can tame
Your Royal Highness, I'm at your call
Shall I rise or shall I fall?
You're the keeper of the flame
Someone no-one can tame
Your Royal Highness, I'm at your call
Shall I rise or shall I fall?
