Danny's got a job straight from nine to five
 Saving all he earns for a better life
 Friday he went out gambling hall
 Laid it on the line and he blew it all

 He used to call on his stream of luck
 Just had the magic touch
 He tried too hard and it all went wrong
 It was a touch too much

 Thunder, lightning what you wanna do
 Giving up just halfway to the top
 Thunder, lightning you can make it thorough
 There's one way up

 Lonely is the night
 When you're down and out
 Trying to find a way just to work it out

 Just takes a man with a burning heart
 Out in the cold of night
 No use to cry and look back in tears
 The time has come to fight

 Thunder, lightning what you wanna do
 Giving up just halfway to the top
 Thunder, lightning you can make it thorough
 There's one way up

 Once you were tall and strong
 But now these days are gone
 You take it hard, it's plain to see
 The tides of fate, they'll turn
 One day you're back again
 That's just the way it's got to be
