greased lightning

Liz Phair

I had a dream, and you were in it.
You ran a race, but you didn't win it.
And I wasn't sorry to see you lose
I would have paid good money, to have them grease your shoes

Grease lightning, going no where at all
It was frightening to watch you skid, right into a fall

You spent your life expecting me to watch
So each time you slipped down, I cut a lower notch.
So I wasn't sorry to feel you slide.
If this is your body, I'm a thorn in your side.

Grease lightning, going no where at all
It was frightening to watch you skid, right into a fall

If you think that it's gone and forgotten, then you're wrong

Grease lightning, going no where at all
It was frightening to watch you skid, right into a fall

Grease lightning, going no where at all
It was frightening to watch you skid, right into a fall
