Well lightning may strike your poor heart tonight
but it won't happen twice
(all the love you deserve is coming on stormy winds)
And I was jealous and cruel to a young girl I knew
but it wont happen twice

Oh if I get the chance I'll be braver like holy wine!
So disaster has riddled my body with holes
(but it won't happen twice)

I know it because I know it child
It cannot happen again!

And a hurricane blew my bright stars away
but it won't happen twice. I'm flat on my back and I'm travelling like dizzy spells...
All these inside fires have burned up these outside things
(but it wont happen twice)

I know it because I know it child ... it cannot happen again!
