Texty: Nitzer Ebb. Showtime. Lightning Man.

It seems some story was told
But what is there to tell?
Well, some song had been sung
But none of it sings

So let's spell it out
A, B, and C
Up and down from A is to Z
You meant zed, you said zed

From nothing to something
And something for nothing
From no one to someone
From someone to same

Same old thing
The only way out
Leads to no way back
What can you do?

Easy, you shove it back where it came
Easy, you never let yourself down

So you got up and you ran
And you run to get up through Chinatowns
To slip right down
Soho's a town in every downtown

Drinking friends who've drunk in bars
Whose drunken friends in drinking bars
Waiting for the lightning man to strike

Icing on your cake
Well, if I knew you were comin'
I'd cut you a piece

Baby, come to daddy
Baby, come to daddy
Baby, come to daddy

Daddy's come to baby
Daddy's come to baby
Come to daddy, baby
Baby, come to daddy

Easy, you shove it back where it came
Easy, you never let yourself down

You better be careful out there
You be careful out there
You better be careful out there
You be careful

You ain't gonna get far
You better be careful out there
You ain't gonna get far
You ain't gonna get far

You be careful out there
You ain't gonna get far
You ain't gonna get far
You be careful out there

You better be careful out there
We're gonna pluck you off
You better be careful out there
You ain't gonna get far

You ain't gonna get far
We're gonna pluck you off
We're gonna pluck you off
We're gonna pluck you off

Baby, come to daddy
Daddy's come to baby
Daddy's come to baby
Come to daddy

Come to baby
Baby, come to daddy
Daddy's come to baby
Come to daddy

Easy, you shove it right back down
Easy, you never listen to this
