|
Rivetin' worldwinds rippin' the world |
|
Women and children wait a minute we're all in jeapordy [x2] |
|
[Chorus 2: said along with chorus 1 repeat x1] |
|
The rains incessant prattle rides restless in the saddle, |
|
A land of a million horses power trotting to the pattern |
|
The rains incessant prattle |
|
Marches on & on & on & on & on & on & on &on |
|
[Lateef] |
|
It began at sea |
|
Three cross currents concurrently |
|
Creating the mother of all tempests to be |
|
Enter percipitation and Ioniozation |
|
The cloud cover hovered 'round ten thousand feet |
|
They sent it swiftly to meet |
|
The oceans waves peaks |
|
Along the jet stream |
|
Bars of fog sparkin', rollin, and pourin |
|
Needles of rain |
|
Thunderin' like god bowlin' lane |
|
[Lyrics Born] |
|
Crashing and Clapping |
|
The master craftsman passionately |
|
Expressing his anger as angst |
|
And flashes of rain |
|
Insanity and fascinating |
|
Irrationally lashing out |
|
Fashioning from his magesic means |
|
Patters and waves |
|
Gravity couldn't tame |
|
Battering seas with scenes |
|
The skies were stained |
|
With the light white panes |
|
Of lightening veins |
|
By the grey clouds |
|
With grey silk ingrained |
|
Devastatin' [x2] |
|
Devastation [x1] |
|
[Lateef] |
|
The Baltic, Bulboous ,Cumlous |
|
Looked more like swabs of cottoon in a charcoal dip |
|
Stretched across all four tips of the horizion |
|
Yet it's movement was swift |
|
But there seemed to be a shift |
|
The squall paused |
|
With an oddness and stillness that felt |
|
....Ominous |
|
[Lryrics Born] |
|
Now if the storm was the servant |
|
And near the earths surface |
|
The congregation was stirrin', nervous, swervin' |
|
Like a burnin' furnace yearnin' |
|
It was churnin', peturbed |
|
And quite determined to be heard |
|
[Begin alt w/Lateef] |
|
So the ocean floor burst |
|
The earthquake merged |
|
And formed a network of cooridors |
|
Which made the earth porous |
|
The forch surged forth |
|
The surf roared |
|
And the stormin surf above |
|
It assumed the same course |
|
Now the rain poured water |
|
And the basin toward corners |
|
And they both aimed toward the northern Califorina Shores |
|
And as the wind whispered warning |
|
The ground hinted authority |
|
The long shoremen lean |
|
Foreward oars |
|
Lower corner |
|
It's quadruples in proportion |
|
He was floored |
|
By his formal introduction to the force! |
|
Devastatin'! |
|
Riveting whirlwinds [Chorus x3] |
|
At the same time Rains incessant pattern [Chorus x4] |
|
[Lyrics Born] |
|
That afternoon the appatite of the catasrophe beast cooled |
|
Began by snackin' on the panoramic view |
|
Population of people |
|
Every single house was feeble |
|
In the eye of mouth of the storm |
|
The needle of the richtor scale teeterd and trembled |
|
So beautifully warm, Picturesque |
|
Hail shot through the window ceil |
|
The glass splinters sailed |
|
Through the innards |
|
Of little Children |
|
Waitin for dinner |
|
They entered and exited |
|
The earth split like god flesh |
|
And them engulfed two whole blocks |
|
The roofs blew off like screw off tops |
|
The school of the arts, the schooner docks |
|
Plus huge supermarkets |
|
And all its human contents |
|
Uprooted and scooped on top |
|
Like Duplo blocks |
|
Now few alive to announce |
|
The true accounts what really amounts |
|
To rumor mills spouted huge amounts and dollar damage |
|
The doom, the trials, the tribulations |
|
Who can do with out the balance between life and total devastation |
|
[Lateef] |
|
Everything aroound you shakin' |
|
And you quakin' |
|
And you feel the rockin of the foundation |
|
Is made a slave to vibration |
|
Then down you go |
|
Your minds been slow |
|
Around you so |
|
Dishes flying out of the kitchen cabinet do'(door) |
|
A few crashin' when they smashin' the windows |
|
Thats when you recognize isn't just the terror in your eyes |
|
Or the fear between your ears |
|
It's the thunderin' and the rumblin' |
|
Is it over you're now wonderin' |
|
That's when the telephone poll |
|
Rips through the roof |
|
And adds the wide stake to your livin' room |
|
Natures heavy burden is now pass along to you |
|
Your house heaves and pulls |
|
You watch the house next door |
|
Swallowed by a sinkhole |
|
It's outta coontrol, whoa! |
|
Rivetin' worldwinds rippin the world, |
|
Women and children wait a minute were all in jeapordy [x2] |
|
The wind brought the rain, the rain cleared the lane, |
|
And still made room for more rockin' |
|
The quake shook the state, the state took the bait, |
|
And sank, and still made room for more rockin [echos] |
|
[Alt w/Lateef, begin Lyrics Born] |
|
It's like the bible says |
|
The Final days |
|
The tidal wave |
|
The earth to quake |
|
The storm to raise |
|
Simultaneously |
|
Smack the land mass |
|
Bordering |
|
Cal-i-for-ni-a |
|
The pourin' rain |
|
The Smoke and flame |
|
The earth a gaping opening |
|
From growin' pains |
|
Broken main regurgatitin' |
|
Automatin' |
|
Pain |
|
You're off and daughter screams in vain |
|
The black became a rectangular lake |
|
Some people greivin', neighborhoods that hydroplane |
|
Heaven heavin', kept repeatin' |
|
Passenger and everybody try to escape |
|
On half a tank |
|
Hearts palpitate |
|
Valves breakin |
|
Cal state |
|
Fault line |
|
Open wide |
|
Ya fall flyin' |
|
Clothesline |
|
(??) car |
|
Blindsided by a semi |
|
Fallin' |
|
Cascadin' |
|
Golden gate |
|
Girders |
|
Following you |
|
Spiraling down the hemmoraging falls |
|
Devastatin! [x1] |
|
Devastatin! [x1] |
