The first time I saw lightning strike
I saw it underground
Six deep feet below the street
The sky came crashing down
For a second that place was lost in space
Then everything went black
I left that basement burning and I never went back

The second time I saw it strike
I saw it at sea
It lit up all the fish like rain
And rained them down on me
For a second that boat was still afloat
Then everything went black
I left it underwater and I never went back

Hey hey hey
Well I like it when that lightning comes
Hey hey hey
Yes I like it a lot
Hey hey hey
Yes I'm jumping like a jumping jack
Dancing, screaming, itching, squealing, fever feeling
Hot hot hot!!!

The third time I saw lightning strike
It hit me in bed
It threw me around and then left me for dead
For a second that room was on the moon!
Then everything went black
I left that house on fire and I never went back

    Song Meaning:OK people, Pay attention! It's NOT about sex, it's about HEROIN. The first time I saw lightning strike is the first time on the drug, and you can never go back, because the second time is never like the first. The same goes for the second, you can never go back. Dancing, screaming, itching, squealing, fevered, feeling hot hot hot, refers to how the drug makes you feel. Like your skin is crawling, your sweating, fevered, hot. You need to know about the band and their recreational activities to understand they were users.

    General Comment:I don't think it matters whether its about sex or drugs, I think its just about a high of some sort that hes only been able to get a couple of times. (and I never went back)

    General Comment:I couldn't see it so much as a sexual referance. I mean, "left me for dead?" I don't really see that as saying anything about sex...but that's just me.

    General Comment:Yes I'm interested in what he says at the start, too. From what I've gathered, it's something like:
    "She may be the face of...."
    Anyone?

    General Comment:[To thedownpour]
    Look at the liner notes for the deluxe edition of the CD "Pornography". Smith openly admits they were all WAAAAY high on LSD at the time. They had a room full of junk from garbage bins at their studio according to that interview.

    General Comment:Awesome song! Guess it's open to debate, but everything above seems pretty accurate "hey, hey, hey, I like it when that lightening comes...yes I like it a lot!"........

    General Comment:Cool song, i like the video. Is there anything factual that says robert smith is a druggie? Lots of song comments talk about him refering to drugs in his songs.
