Lyrics Hiking in Lightning - Gruff Rhys

Hiking in Lightning

Hiking in lightning is exhilarating
And frightening
Sandy foundations make shaky skyscrapers
Enlightening
Once in a while they’ll topple over
Once in a while they’ll tumble down
Hiking in lightning will tighter your timing
And terrify
A flash of illusion will temper confusion
And nullify
Hiking in lightning
Hiking in lightning
Walking a tightrope in slippery flip flops
Is harrowing
Like lying on hot coats or swimming in acid
Once in a while we’ll topple over
Once in a while we’ll sink or swim
Hiking in lightning is exhilarating
And frightening
Sandy foundations make shaky skyscrapers
Enlightening
Hiking in lightning
Hiking in lightning
Hiking in lightning
