lyrics

based on a poem by Clay Maddox, "Lightning In a Bottle"

The goal of every marble
Is lightning in a bottle
It depends on how hard
You wanna ride that throttle

No roll that can rock it
No ax that can grind it
The bedrock of truth
Is always where you’ll find it

Flames from the oil
Your reflection in the light
Your eyes mesmerize
Liquid metal in the night

No rock that can roll it
No ax that can grind it
The bedrock of truth
Is always where you’ll find it
