The Residents
Lightning
[Refrain]
Uh, sleep
Uh, sleep
Uh, sleep
Uh, sleep

When everyone lives in the future
The present is au revoir
When everyone lives in the future
The present is au revoir
When everyone lives in the future
The present is au revoir
When everyone lives in the future
The present is au revoir
When everyone lives in the future
The present is au revoir

Something pale and mercenary
Left a pile of turkey
Very near a little Spanish town
And every day the big cranberries
Peer into the mouths of Marys
Being held for nothing more
Than being what was there before
All this happened
