Lightning Strikes - new Jay-Jay Johanson

Lyrics to one of Jay-Jay Johanson's forthcoming songs (courtesy of his myspace page):

Lightning Strikes:
I CLOSE THE CURTAINS
WON'T LET THE DAYLIGHT IN
PUT OUT THE CANDLES
POUR ANOTHER GIN

AND WHEN THE LIGHTNING STRIKES
THE THUNDER'S NEVER FAR AWAY
AND YOU'RE THE LIGHTNING LIKE,
I'M THUNDER ON A FOGGY DAY
OR SO IT SEEMS. or so it seems

DARKNESS APPROACHING
GUESS THERE'S A STORM BREAKING IN
RAINDROPS INCREASING
STRONGER GETS THE WIND

AUTUMN BROUGHT SHADOWS
MY DAYS OF MOURNING ARE THRU
GONE IS THE SORROW
THE WAY MY LIFE HAS GROWN

WHEN THE LIGHTNING STRIKES
THE THUNDER'S NEVER FAR AWAY
AND YOU'RE THE LIGHTNING LIKE,
I'M THUNDER ON A FOGGY DAY
OR SO IT SEEMS. or so it seems

CHORDS ON MY PIANO
FADING AWAY IN THE ROOM
THE TICKING OF A CLOCK OR
IS IT A METRONOME

AND WHEN THE LIGHTNING STRIKES
THE THUNDER'S NEVER FAR AWAY
AND YOU'RE THE LIGHTNING LIKE,
I'M THUNDER ON A FOGGY DAY
OR SO IT SEEMS. or so it seems
