The Shock of the Lightning Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm all over my heart's desire
I feel cold but I'm back in the fire
Out of control but I'm tied up tight
Come in, come out tonight
I'm coming up in the early morning
I feel love in the shock of the lightning
I fall into the blinding light
Come in, come out, come in, come out tonight
[Chorus]
Love is a time machine
Up on the silver screen
It's all in my mind
Love is a litany
A magical mystery
And all in good time
And all in good time
And all in good time
Ee-ya, ee-ya, ee-ya, ee-ya, ee-ya
[Verse 2]
I got my feet on the street but I can't stop flying
My head's in the clouds but at least I'm trying
I'm out of control but I'm tied up tight
Come in, come out tonight
There's a hole in the ground into which I'm falling
So godspeed to the sound of the pounding
I'm all into the blinding light
Come in, come out, come in, come out tonight
I'm all over my heart's desire
I feel cold but I'm back in the fire
Out of control but I'm tied up tight
Come in, come out tonight
I'm coming up in the early morning
I feel love in the shock of the lightning
I fall into the blinding light
Come in, come out, come in, come out tonight
[Chorus]
Love is a time machine
Up on the silver screen
It's all in my mind
Love is a litany
A magical mystery
And all in good time
And all in good time
And all in good time
Ee-ya, ee-ya, ee-ya, ee-ya, ee-ya
[Verse 2]
I got my feet on the street but I can't stop flying
My head's in the clouds but at least I'm trying
I'm out of control but I'm tied up tight
Come in, come out tonight
There's a hole in the ground into which I'm falling
So godspeed to the sound of the pounding
I'm all into the blinding light
Come in, come out, come in, come out tonight
[Chorus]
Love is a time machine
Up on the silver screen
It's all in my mind
Love is a litany
A magical mystery
And all in good time
And all in good time
And all in good time
Ee-ya, ee-ya, ee-ya, ee-ya, ee-ya
[Drum Solo]
[Chorus]
It's all in my mind
Love is a time machine
Up on the silver screen
And all in good time
And all in good time
And all in good time
Ee-ya, ee-ya, ee-ya, ee-ya, ee-ya

Genius Answer
Noel’s opinion on the song:
If “The Shock of the Lightning” sounds instant and compelling to you, it’s because it was written dead fast. And recorded dead fast. “The Shock of the Lightning” basically is the demo. And it has retained its energy. And there’s a lot to be said for that, I think. The first time you record something is always the best.
