The air was getting heavy I knew that it was coming So I started up the Chevy And kept the motor running A storm came down upon us And flooded all the rivers Surrounded by piranhas And the doctors who deliver Anything that you require Now the fields are all on fire Calling down the wire La de da de da de da Batten down the hatches Becky Open up the earth and sky Waiting on a natural disaster Sitting out on my back porch Watching storm clouds moving faster Like a natural disaster Hurricane between us I saw it on the TV I went down to Phoenix To make my last CD And nobody got paid Just like the good old days You can waste your life away La de da de da de da Batten down the hatches Becky Open up the earth and sky Waiting on a natural disaster Sitting out on my front porch Watching storm clouds moving faster Like a natural disaster I left Nova Scotia And headed down the coast Tore a strip off Memphis Before I levelled Roanoke I punished Pecos County And headed for Las Cruces Anyone around me Will be covered in my bruises You want something to remember me by You can write my name in the sky Sing La de da La de da de da de da Batten down the hatches Becky Open up the earth and sky Waiting on a natural disaster Sitting out on our front porch Watching storm clouds moving faster I'm a natural disaster I'm a natural disaster

Brothers, where you been? Somewhere off the chart? I don't want to be Out here in the dark Every time I answer No one's at my door I don't want to leave Where we were before Eleven dreams been spinning There's 33 to go I'll find you in my mind In some picture show In close calls with ghost ships At strip malls on bad trips Slow dives through past lives Just ring when you arrive Trying to find you, brothers You're dragonflies at night I dream in colour And futures black and white Tell me did you go? Same place they've always gone? Under everything Over everyone Spinning, spinning Spinning out Spinning, spinning Spinning out Close calls with ghost ships At strip malls on bad trips Through snow drifts and camp fires With tight grips on live wires I'm close now, I'm outside A slow dive through past lives Just ring when you arrive Brothers, where you been? Somewhere off the chart? I don't want to be Out here in the dark

This is your number, it's all I've got This is me standing in a parking lot This the movie that never got made This is my heart, and it's a grenade Pulling the pin, running for cover In the middle of the night Pick up the phone, I wanna come over Back in the day, walking your way You read my mind, you knew what I'd say Foot in my mouth, cat got my tongue Tripping on clichés and coming undone Holding your hand, running for cover In the middle of the night Tell me your name Can I come over? 'Cause you are in my head, you are in the driver's seat I'd follow your love down a dead end street I would live life blind, I would tell you lies Just to hear your voice when I close my eyes After the dance, after the whiskey After you left, before you kissed me Too much to drink, stumbling home Nobody there when the lights came on Cutting my losses, counting my blessings In the middle of the night Can I come over? Are you undressing? 'Cause you are in my head, you are in the driver's seat I'd follow your love down a dead end street I would live life blind, I would tell you lies Just to hear your voice when I close my eyes Is this the last of the signals you're sending? Are we rolling the credits? Is this the ending? 'Cause you are in my head, you are in the driver's seat I'd follow your love down the darkest street I would live life blind under starless skies Just to hear your voice when I close my eyes Just to hear your voice when I close my eyes You are in my head when I close my eyes This is your number, it's all I've got This is me standing in a parking lot

Lyin' on the floor and starin' at the ceilin' Ooh, baby, you let me down Cryin' to myself and tryin' to shake the feelin' Ooh, baby, you let me down You let me down easy, you let me down light It really gets me down, but you let me down right You set me down gently, you let me down slow It's gonna take some time before I can let you go Floatin' on the ceilin', starin' at the floor Lookin' from above at what we had before I could hear your motor hummin', I wanted you to stay But I could see this comin' from a hundred miles away Lyin' in the grass, starin' at the sun Burnin' out the memory that you were the one Tryin' to pretend that I didn't feel a thing But it's feelin' as familiar as the simple song I sing You let me down easy, you let me down light It really gets me down, but you let me down right You set me down gently, you let me down slow It's gonna take some time before I can let you go You set me down proper, you said the right things The sun was comin' up, they were waitin' in the wings The sun was goin' down, you were packin' up your clothes You said, ["I hate to let you down but, babe, I gotta go."] Lyin' in the back seat, eyes shut tight Tired of starin' at the road so I'm stoppin' for the night I can hear your motor hummin' so I'm coverin' some ground Ooh, baby, you let me down Ooh, baby, you let me down

In late September I drove across the prairies The mountains behind me and the ocean beyond This country's a coal mine and I'm a canary Turn out the headlights and the radio on I remember the words I forget the tune The light of the moon, the light of the moon Under the stars you stagger and swoon The light of the moon, the light of the moon Sunrise, oh sunrise will you wait for me? Don't come too soon through night's deep abyss Flirt with the waitress in Sault Ste Marie Hear music and voices through static and hiss I remember the words I forget the tune The light of the moon, the light of the moon Under the stars you stagger and swoon The light of the moon, the light of the moon The light of the moon, the light of the moon Light of the moon, light of the moon
