Tornado

They call her Talking Tornado

She sweeps through your head as you sleep

You think that the damage is minor

But the future ends up looking bleak

She comes like a change in the weather

You don't really need it at all

You say that you're totally indifferent

But deep down you're glad that she called

I've an old wheelbarrow of accident sounds

Symphonies tipped on her tongue

I'm lying them out yet they're bleaker that bread

But one time they made me feel young

She's a real bobby dazzler

As far as that goes

She's an enigma that grows

Slow down your heart and forget the time

Close your door and open mine

Clench your fists as the blizzard grows

I want to, I want to, I want to

Slow down your heart and forget the time

Close your door and open mine

Clench your fists as the blizzard grows

I want to, I want to, I want to

But I won't call you Tornado

The man in the moon is not smiling

I don't really blame him for that

It may be a big step for mankind

But it's just another crease in his hat

She comes like a change in the weather

Like old friends who've long since lost touch

You say that it really can't matter

But the truth is it matters too much

One is the axle while two is the wheel

See this wagon is real

Slow down your heart and forget the time

Close your door and open mine

Clench your fists as the blizzard grows

I want to, I want to, I want to

Sit right back in your rocking chair

Things you said are everywhere

Words music and everything

I want to, I want to, I want to

But I won't call you Tornado

(Call you Tornado)

Call you Tornado

(Call you Tornado)

I won't call you Tornado

(Call you Tornado)

Ooh, ooh.
