I had a dream, and you were in it.   You ran a race, but you didn't win it.   And I wasn't sorry to see you lose   I would have paid good money, to have them grease your shoes      Grease lightning, going no where at all   It was frightening to watch you skid, right into a fall      You spent your life expecting me to watch   So each time you slipped down, I cut a lower notch.   So I wasn't sorry to feel you slide.   If this is your body, I'm a thorn in your side.      Grease lightning, going no where at all   It was frightening to watch you skid, right into a fall      If you think that it's gone and forgotten, then you're wrong      Grease lightning, going no where at all   It was frightening to watch you skid, right into a fall      Grease lightning, going no where at all   It was frightening to watch you skid, right into a fall
