Lyrics
Verse 1:
Tried to warn her, when she was young
To play it safe, better hold your tongue
Smile so sweetly, don't you play no guitar
You won't be a star (no, you won't be a star), it's not who you are
Chorus:
In with a bang
Gone in a flash
Always moving, surprising, and striking
And lit like a match
Voltage so high
But she ain't no star
She's electric and fiery and blinding
She's lightning (x3)
Verse 2:
Streaks of genius, bolts of sass
If there's a ceiling, she'll shatter the glass
When you hear the thunder, seek shelter inside
If you're in her path (oh, if you're in her path), you're in for a ride
Chorus
Bridge:
You can ring the alarm
But she's siren and storm
Unpredictable flame
And she's here to take names
Chorus
