Whitehorse - Strike Me Down Lyrics

Oooh
Oooh

Bite my tongue
Play it straight
We're so young
But we're too pretty to wait

The girls all think they're something
Playing by the rules
But I'm your partner in crime
I'm your suffering fool

You got lucky, I got lost
I'm the chattel, you're the boss
I'm just waiting for the lightning to strike me down

You've been preaching to the choir
There's no burning without fire
Strike me down
Strike me down

Oooh
Oooh

People talk
Talk, talk, talk
Words sound good
As they bypass a thought

The silence reigns
The trial adjourned
But the warmth of the fire
Begets the sting of the burn

You got lucky, I got lost
I'm the chattel, you're the boss
I'm just waiting for the lightning to strike me down

You've been preaching to the choir
There's no burning without fire
Strike me down
Strike me down
Strike me down
Strike me down

Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
