Lyrics:

Cmon, its such a joy, cmon you metal boy
Cmon lets take it easy
Cmon lets make it sleazy

Everybodys got a ticket to ride
Except for me and my lightning

Your insides ooze out, the electrodes are in
The electrodes are in so your eyeballs pop out
Someone controlling me
Cant be happening to me

Sweat-chilling cold, I watch death unfold
How true is this? Get it over with

I think Im gonna be dead, I think its today
Electric wires pinned to my head, Im frying away

Ive got a ticket to ride the lightning - yeah!

Death is in the air, its bringing me down
Strapped in the electric chair,
Death is all around

Ive got a ticket to ride the lightning - yeah!

Before I get to riding so high
Someone help me, oh please God help me
Flashing before my eyes
Someone help me, oh please God help me

Wakened by horrid scream burning in my brain
Freed from this frightening dream
I can feel the flame

Ive got a ticket to ride the lightning - yeah!
