On the plane ride home i said why o why Are we bouncing up and down in the sky It's a beautiful frightening lightning storm I held you close with the heart of my gaze You weren't afraid to my amaze In the beautiful frightening lightning storm It was fun ... even though There was nothing to hold onto Fun ... even though There was nothing to hold onto And when they brought the peanuts around We said we'll take a drink to wash them down In the beautiful frightening lightning storm There's a whole lot baby you can't control So put your seat back and 'roll mag roll' In the beautiful frightening lightning storm It was fun ... even though There was nothing to hold onto Fun ... and i know There was nothing to hold onto Its been a long and scary year One thing after another Something else to fear Well why should i worry to fly I'm gonna hand my head down And cry cry cry I'm gonna hand my head down And cry cry cry Pretty soon those city light below Showed through and the wind did blow In the beautiful frightening lightning storm Da da dum nothing to hold onto Da da dum there's nothing to hold onto
