"The Lightning I"

Fourth place anthem playing

Tonight on a broken radio

Thought we reached the mountaintop

But now we just feel so low

The sky is breaking open

We keep hoping

In the distance we'll see a glow

Lightning light our way

Until the black sky turns back to indigo

We can make it if you

Don't quit on me

I won't quit on you

Don't quit on me

We can make it baby

Please don't quit on me

I won't quit on you

Don't quit on me

I never quit on you

We were born in paradise

Beneath a poisoned sky

Under a bad sign

The micro-age of gemini

And we are still unlearning

Tires are burning

In the middle of Rodeo Drive

You know that we've been beat down

And broken

But now we can testify

We can make it

If you don't quit on me

I won't quit on you

Don't quit on me

We can make it baby

Please don't quit on me

I won't quit on you

Don't quit on me

I never quit on you

It's not up to you

Some you win, some you lose

When the lightning comes

You don't get to choose

Some you win, some you lose

When the lightning comes

One, two, three, four
