Lyrics for Calm Before the Storm
Sat outside my front window, this story's going somewhere He's well hung, and I am hanging on There's a song on the radio that says "Let's get this party started," let's get this party started What you do on your own time's just fine My imagination's much worse, I just never want to know What meant the world had folded, like legs and fingers holding on to What escapes me, what he has, a better kiss, it never lasts You said, between your smiles and regrets "Don't say it's over," dead and gone Dead and gone, yeah Calm before the storm, set it off (set if off) And the sun burnt out tonight Reception, less than warm, set it off And the sun burnt out too This is me standing in the arch of the door Hating that look that's on your face It says there's another fool like me (another fool like me) There's one born every minute, there's one born every minute What do you do on your own time's just fine My imagination's much worse I just never want to know (I just never want to know) And what meant the world, imploded Inflated then demoted all my oxygen to product gas And suffocated my last chance to say Between your smiles and regrets "Don't say it's over," dead and gone Dead and gone, yeah, whoa-oh-oh Calm before the storm, set it off (set if off) And the sun burnt out tonight Reception, less than warm (whoa-oh-oh-oh), set it off And the sun burnt out too (Calm before the storm) set it off, set it off Whoa-oh Calm before the storm, set it off And the sun burnt out tonight Reception, less than warm, set it off (whoa-oh) And the sun burnt out tonight, yeah Whoa-oh-oh, yeah-eh-ah Sun burnt out tonight (whoa-oh), yeah-eh-ah The sun burnt out tonight
