Download Chris Thile's Song of the Week, "Lightning Man" (originally from our June 8, 2019 show). The band: Sara Watkins, Mike Elizondo, Eric Doob, Brittany Haas, Shaun Martin, Noam Pikelny, and Bryan Sutton. — Lyrics: Morse has chained the lightning The rumors are true All this dashing and dotting’s gonna bring the world home to you And tell you what it is or what it might be So drink today’s coffee with tomorrow’s news... There’s no more elsewhere Everywhere is here With an o-perator, tap-tapping our hope and fear Speculation and excitement The clock hands froze the miles disappeared When Morse chained the lightning Morse has chained the lightning Behold these tyrants Assassins and thieves Haters of light, law And liberty Then behold Morse’s lightning Nipping at their heels Fixing to strike them in the middle of the battlefield Where they left America dying Of the great divide in what she thinks and feels Before Morse chained the lightning
