The apple of your eye turned rotten You're pressin' on towards the goal The fruit was ripe but forgotten Now life's taken it's toll You're moving at a breakneck speed There's not a moment to lose You're moving way too fast to see Everything in front of you You're trying to catch that lightning in a bottle But you're moving too fast always stuck in full throttle You're trying to catch that lightning in a bottle But you're moving too fast Stuck on full throttle Lightning in a bottle Lightning in a bottle Lightning in a bottle You know it doesn't strike that often And never in the same place Move from cradle to coffin As if we're running a race You're moving at a breakneck speed There's not a moment to lose You're moving way too fast to see Everything in front of you You're trying to catch that lightning in a bottle But you're moving too fast always stuck in full throttle You're trying to catch that lightning in a bottle But you're moving too fast Stuck on full throttle Lightning in a bottle Lightning in a bottle Lightning in a bottle We are stuck on full throttle moving too fast to see life is lightning in a bottle Lightning in a bottle Lightning in a bottle Lightning in a bottle
