That's what they told me
When first I met Lenny
A little bit crazy
I had to see for myself
He once ran the numbers
Without pencil or paper
Now he's one in a million
And he'll tell you himself

Sleeps fine at night
On the couch of these friends
Spends most the days
On Percocets and reruns
Sometimes we're blessed
He's the first one to say
That it's a far cry
From how they found me

Twice struck by lightning
My fingers still tingle
Sometimes I can't feel
The very tips of my toes
And on a good day my heart skips
Only one beat

So I had to ask him
What were the chances
When was the first time
How did it happen to you?
Where were you standing
What were you wearing
Did you see your name in the news?

He said "Sometimes there's rain
Without any thunder
I had no warning

How could I possibly know?
So I went out walking
How can you blame me?
Sometimes you do that
When something's over and done

Twice struck by lightning
My fingers still tingle
And sometime I can't feel
The very tips of my toes
And on a good day my heart skips
Only one beat

Sometimes we're blessed
With an aerial view of our lives
Sometimes we're cut
And we don't even know it
It's like a left to the jaw
A scar to the heart
And then the count comes
Five, four ,three, two

Twice struck by lightning
My fingers still tingle
And sometimes I can't feel
The very tips of my toes
And on a good day my heart skips
Only one beat
