Oh, Notorious Lightning! Yes, I had to ride you
D#m F# G#
And trash the crystal jets they kept in storage inside you!
B C#
I was told never to question it.
F# A#m D#m G# B
Now I'm facing twenty years for every night I tried to ingest the snow so lightly! (huh?)
F#
You simply couldn't put down the Black Book.
A#m
You dreamt the dreams of the Self-Taught Man.
D#m
You warn the ladies not to be corrupted by their looks,
B F#
But your voice comes out soft and slanted!
B A#m
And you're living off what government's granted you:
C# G#m
Amnesty from the true
B C#
Thing. Now, Sandra, slowly remove the ring and watch Notorious Lightning surround you.
B C#
Watch Notorious Lightning surround you.
B C# B
Watch Notorious Lightning surround you.
F#
I lay myself down to observe your gilded jeans hit the ground,
D#m

F#
I lay myself down to surrender,
Watch the trust funds gorge us again,

Something once was delivered, then you banned it
C# G#m
But, oh, there is a key to this thing...
C#
Notorious Lightning...

F#
There is a monument.
A#m
There is a place within it that I have won.
D#m
And there is victory at sea.
B
And then there's the sun
F#
Crashing down upon us
A#m
Faithful readership of the Old Warden. We beg -
D#m B
"No not another ode to the Garden! You've let the Book of Appeals pile up!"
F#
So, Child of the East, it's time
A#m
To shrug off the Beast and take a look at what you've done.
D#m
The half-breed jury agrees you're OK,
B
But what they never seem to say is that it's never

The defense's witness...
