[Verse 1]
You can drown in your sorrows, you can float out to sea
Where the maelstrom is hollerin', for a moment you’re free
Oh, vagabond warrior, you’re a long way from home
Where the eagles are soaring, and kings are enthroned
[Chorus]
Can you save me?
Can you save me?
Can you save me?
I've been struck by lightning
[Verse 2]
You’ve been spared from the gallows, but it’s still not the end
You got the rest of your life to make your amends
It’s harbor you’re seeking, and shelter from harm
Don’t leave me here stranded, better sound the alarm
[Chorus]
Can you save me?
Can you save me?
Can you save me?
I've been struck by lightning
[Bridge]
The heavens opened up, and an angel spoke:
"You can’t go home, they’ll just keep throwing stones."
"You’re better off on more enlightened shores."
"You stick around and you’ll get nothing..."
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Can you save me?
Can you save me?
Can you save me?
[Outro (chanting)]
Struck in the back by lightning, struck in the back by lightning! (x2)
You can drown in your sorrows, you can float out to sea
Where the maelstrom is hollerin', for a moment you’re free
Oh, vagabond warrior, you’re a long way from home
Where the eagles are soaring, and kings are enthroned
[Chorus]
Can you save me?
Can you save me?
Can you save me?
I've been struck by lightning
[Verse 2]
You’ve been spared from the gallows, but it’s still not the end
You got the rest of your life to make your amends
It’s harbor you’re seeking, and shelter from harm
Don’t leave me here stranded, better sound the alarm
[Chorus]
Can you save me?
Can you save me?
Can you save me?
I've been struck by lightning
[Bridge]
The heavens opened up, and an angel spoke:
"You can’t go home, they’ll just keep throwing stones."
"You’re better off on more enlightened shores."
"You stick around and you’ll get nothing..."
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Can you save me?
Can you save me?
Can you save me?
[Outro (chanting)]
Struck in the back by lightning, struck in the back by lightning! (x2)
