Lightning In A Bottle

 Look out!
Look out!
Look out for them sky pirates
Sailin’ at the edge of a sunset
Sailin’ through celestial seas
Sailin’ through such thunderous cloud formations
Sailin’ through such stormy weather
Searchin’ for a fallen star

Her heart
It is of high value
Her heart will bring eternal life
If you posses it completely
You’ll have your immortal pill
Capture her heart
Capture her soul
Lightning in a bottle

I built a ship
Built me a ship out of a poem
Inside this old whisky flask
I tied balloons to its neck
Up it flew
Up it flew!
Past rains of liquor tears
Past all the sky pirates
And all of their earthly fears
I sent my message to the stars

Your song
It is of high value
Your song will bring eternal love
In a brilliant flash
Gone in an instant, gone forever
Unless I catch your heart
Capture your soul

If you fall, I will catch you
If you fall, I will catch you
Keep your stardust on my altar
Keep your lightning in a bottle
Lightning in a bottle
Lightning in a bottle
Light, Sing in a bottle!
