Lyrics for Lazy Lightning - Live at Barton Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 5/8/77

Grateful Dead Miscellaneous Lazy Lightning Lazy Lightning Lazy lightning sleepy fire in your eyes It's like desire in disguise I keep on tryin' but I, I can't get through Lazy lightning, I'd like to find the proper potion That's gonna capture your emotion You're right beside me but I, I can't get through You're a loop of lazy lightning, Just a loop of lazy lightning, Must admit you're kinda frightning But you really get me high So exciting, when I hear your velvet thunder, Seems one day I start to wonder Would you come closer if I, if I asked you to? So inviting, the way you're messing with my reason It's an exception but it's pleasing Tell me a lie and I will swear, I'll swear it's true. You're a loop of lazy lightning (Lazy lightning) Just a loop of lazy lightning (Lazy lightning) Must admit you're kinda frightning Just a loop of lazy lightning Put the fire in my eyes (Lightning) Put the fire every time (Lightning) Put the fire in my heart (Lightning) Well come on lazy lightning. Just a loop of lazy lightning Misty lightning, well you always electrify me Someday I know you'll satisfy me And all that lightning will be my lightning too. My lightning too. (My lightning too) Just a loop of lazy lightning (My lightning too) My lightning too (My lightning too) Just a loop of lazy lightning (My lightning too) My lightning too (My lightning too) Oh come on lazy lightning (My lightning too) Well, dizzy ain't the word for the way that you're making me feel now Well, I need some indication, girl, if all of this is real now Tell me girl now Well, I've heard it said there's something wrong in my head, now Got to help me, girl, now Could it be infatuation or am I just being misled now? Little bolt of inspiration Way you strike me now She's back in my imagination, got the lightning now Cause me such excitation, got the lightning now 'Bout to end my suffocation, come on strike me now Little bolt of inspiration Way you strike me now She's back in my imagination
