Lightning Never Strikes Twice

by Jack Daniels - Virgo

The night is closing in 
And the rain is beginning to fall 
The thunder is ripping the night apart 
And the wolves are beginning to call 

I’m down in the valley 
As the damned begin to scream 
I’m down begging on my knees 
As you live out your dreams 

Everything has turned inside out 
And I lost control in the heat of the night 
Everyone has begun to shout 
I lost my soul in the deep of the night 

Bridge- 
I never knew how much 
I could hurt with out you here 
I could never guess how much 
Pain you get when the fever sears 

There’s just one thing I know 
That I could never let you go 
There’s not a thing I won’t do 
Cos I’m so in love with you 
But- 

Chorus- 
Once is too many times 
I have paid the ultimate price 
It will never be the same 
Lightning never strikes twice 

I was at the top of the world, now I’m sinking 
I’ve put my fate on the dice 
We can never be the same again 
Cos lightning never strikes twice 

I was at the top of the world 
Lightning never strikes twice 

Now I’m drowning under the mud 
Lightning never strikes twice 

Once is too many times 
Lightning never strikes twice! 

You wanted everything then nothing at all 
You needed something when you came to fall 
I can remember how it used to be 
How we made love, it set me free 

Now I’m racing out of town 
And I’m raring to go 
As I fly above the houses 
I never even look down 

My wings shudder in the wind 
The storm rages, as does my hear 
A lightning bolt lashes 
And I fall apart 

The pain is never ending 
Yet I know the end is near 
I look into the face of death 
Yet I no longer hold any fear 

Bridge- 
I never knew how much 
I could hurt with out you here 
I could never guess how much 
Pain you get when the fever sears 

There’s just one thing I know 
That I could never let you go 
There’s not a thing I won’t do 
Cos I’m so in love with you 
But- 

Chorus- 
Once is too many times 
I have paid the ultimate price 
It will never be the same 
Lightning never strikes twice 

I was at the top of the world, now I’m sinking 
I’ve put my fate on the dice 
We can never be the same again 
Cos lightning never strikes twice 

I was at the top of the world 
Lightning never strikes twice 

Now I’m drowning under the mud 
Lightning never strikes twice 

Once is too many times 
Lightning never strikes twice! 

I’m just a leaf thrown into the wind 
As I tumble, I look back on life 
And that’s when I realise – 
Lighting never strikes twice! 

[Once is too many times] 
Lighting never strikes twice! 
[My heart is raging] 
Lightning never strikes twice! 
[I know the end is near] 
Lightning never strikes twice! 
[The night is closing in] 
Lightning never strikes twice! 
Lightning never strikes twice! 
Lightning never strikes twice!
