lyrics

she likes things like taste and sense

‘you either die a hero or live long enough to become the enemy’
I swore that from something I’ve seen
when she spends half her time just quoting moving pictures,
when I just wish she would speak realistically so I’d believe

she’s got lightning under her skin, and Jersey glows electric when she’s in it there’s a difference to me
she’s only in it to win these knock down drag out fights like there’s some prize, but I’ll be alright
cause if she leaves me I’ll find her on Lincoln, chasing stars down boardwalks and boulevards

she was looking at me wild eyed, head tilt left with a cocaine smile
and I could tell she was about to thunderstorm if the DJ wouldn’t play one more
now her heart beats a techno beat, she’s drum and bass and lost on South Beach

and
she’s got lightning under her skin, and Jersey glows electric when she’s in it there’s a difference to me
she’s only in it to win these knock down drag out fights like there’s some prize, but I’ll be alright
cause if she leaves me I’ll find her on Lincoln, chasing stars down boardwalks and boulevards

South Florida hit a cold snap, all the students stayed in
so I tracked her to a Key, Biscayne, where she was singing ‘something in the way’
serenading sea with Cobain, over the waves

now she shivers like a static in this cold, and I can tell she’s done
so I hold her like a grudge and swear that all is real around us,
maybe she belongs back where she’s come from

but she’ll keep searching all the ‘hot’ clubs for something she can’t quite get her hands on
and if she leaves me I’ll find her on Lincoln cause she’s got lightning under her skin and if she leaves me I’ll find her on Lincoln, God, if she leaves me I’ll find her on Lincoln or in one of her pretty little cities in England

now her heart beats a techno beat, she’s drum and bass and lost on South Beach

and
she’s got lightning under her skin, and Jersey glows electric when she’s in it there’s a difference to me
she’s only in it to win these knock down drag out fights like there’s some prize, but I’ll be alright
and if she leaves me I’ll find her on Lincoln, chasing stars down boardwalks and boulevards
