[Intro:][Schäffer & Jane Silence:]
[S:]So
[J:]Give me one good reason
Something to believe in
Cause all I see is reaching
Onto things to sink my teeth in
In your eyes I'm seeing
Got that sinking feeling
And now you're going under
It's your thunder that I'm stealin'
[S:] So give me
[J:] one good reason
[S:] just
[J:] something to believe in
[S:] cause
[J:] Cause all I see is reaching
Onto things to sink my teeth in (teeth in)
In your eyes I'm seeing (seeing)
Got that sinking feeling (feeling)
And now you're going under
It's your thunder that I'm stealin'
[Verse 1: Schäffer the Darklord]
High five, up high, down low - oh too slow
No really though, you're having a go
At the business of show so way to go
But I don't know
About your work
Maybe some day you will make it better
Not bad for an amateur
You gave it a shot
A for effort
Take a letter
And this bitter pill for swallowing
And break a leg
But I hear it's awfully hard to follow me
And opening up for me
It ain't no picnic neither
Either you get booed
Or you play to an empty room
Because no one will be there
Alert!
Emergency!
You need rehearsal urgently
You're paying your dues
But using third world currency
I recall those days in hazy memories
You know you kind of remind me of me
Minus eloquence and energy
And everybody knows it
And you're probably getting sick of it
I haven't slept in days
I'm drunk
And still I'm more articulate
Go on
Hit me with your best shot
Come on do your worst
And then just watch me win an Oscar
For pretending it hurts
(but it won't)
[Chorus: Schäffer]
Nice try
Little buddy
High five
Why don't you hit the side lines
Cause it's my time
Bye bye
I'm a thunder thief
A cunning sneak
I'm coming up from underneath
To undermine
I'm unrefined
But i might have to blow your mind
So nice try little buddy
High five
Why don't you hit the side lines
Cause it's my time
Bye bye
I'm a thunder thief
A cunning sneak
I'm coming up from underneath
To undermine
I'm unrefined
But i might have to blow your mind
[Verse 2: Jane Silence]
Oh my
Every time you speak
I think you're finally fine
But then i'm reminded
Your fatal flaws are underlined
And underscored
And i've ignored
It feels so long
Intentionally
I'd sing your praises
Were there enough to mention me
A little in common (so very little)
There is nothin' wrong in (nothin' wrong in)
Feedin' from the bottom
I've done it too just not as often (just not as often)
Once you hit your fire
And you've climbed a little higher
Then admire me
As the goal to which you will aspire
[Verse 3 Schäffer:]
Alright, alright, alright, alright
All night
As i caught your sight
I saw that you got white
But it's alright
Don't be frightened by it
It's just called a spotlight
And it won't bite
Obscurity can be a safe place
Never embarra**ed
Means you'll never have to safe face
So if you quit while you're behind
And now it's time to retire
I say you made a fine attempt
Because i'm kind of a liar
And should you get inspired
For another try
Reminder:
Like DMC advised:
You and your kind can call me, Sire
[Chorus: Schäffer] X 2
So nice try
Little buddy
High five
Why don't you hit the side lines
Cause it's my time
Bye bye
I'm a thunder thief
A cunning sneak
I'm coming up from underneath
To undermine
I'm unrefined
But i might have to blow your mind
[Intro/Chorus near simultaneous] X 2
So nice try
(one good reason)
High five
(somethin' to believe in)
Side line
(cause i all see is reachin'
For a place to stick my teeth in)
My time bye bye
I'm a thunder thief
(in your eyes i'm seeing
Got that sinking feeling)
I'm comin' up from underneath
A thunder thief
(and now you're going under
It's your thunder that i'm stealing)
