By the roaring of the ocean, and the howling of the sea
If I decide to meet my maker, will she part the waves for me?
And while the whole wide world is wondering, the skyline is on fire
Because at six o’ clock from the eyes of God, the lightning strikes destroyer
Never treated me bad never left me lonely
In the morning light I’d hear her call
All of my memories of her are lovely
God damn them all
God damn them all
When the worst thing for you is the only thing you’ve got
Then you’ve got nothing left to lose, and the number it is naught
That’s why I send postcards from Naples, against the advice of my lawyer
I write forget me not, from the eyes of God, the lightning strikes destroyer
Never treated me bad never left me lonely
In the morning light I’d hear her call
All of my memories of her are lovely
God damn them all
God damn them all
Suppose you predicted a very specific thing
And when the time came and it happened, no one remembered anything
So you run all the way back home again, you find your notes in the top drawer
They say, I cannot fix your broken heart, the lightning strikes destroyer
Never treated me bad, never left me lonely
In the morning light I’d hear her call
All of my memories of her are lovely
God damn them all
God damn them all—
