Tornado - The Ship

Well, I’m lying here on the island, scared to go outside

Well, you can buy me a fare on the subway darling, I’ll watch the train go by

I’m dying here on the island, but it’s the only place in town

I better take it on back to Illinois and watch the tornado go around and around

Tornado began, listen to the weatherman

Tornado—what a treat, if it touches down across the street

Tornado—when it blows, you just can’t beat a tornado!

You can count up all your disasters, well you know you don’t want to boast

But pick up the Times on Sunday morning and see who’s got the most

The trouble’s not in your bathroom, you know it’s out on the town

You better take it on back to the prairie land, and watch the tornado go around

and around

Tornado began, listen to the weatherman

Tornado—what a treat, if it touches down across the street

Tornado—when it blows, you just can’t beat a tornado!

You leave town by Saturday morning, you’ll be home by Sunday noon

You can’t turn your gaze behind you, ‘cause you’ll never be immune

Well, prepare for the sweet surrender, when you yield in a cornfield

Tell me where did it go?

You leave town by Saturday morning, you’ll be home by Sunday noon

You can’t turn your gaze behind you, ‘cause you’ll never be immune

Well, prepare for the sweet surrender, when you yield in a cornfield

Tell me where did it go?

Tornado began, listen to the weatherman

Tornado—what a treat, if it touches down across the street

Tornado—when it blows, you just can’t beat a tornado!

You leave town by Saturday morning, you’ll be home by Sunday noon

You can’t turn your gaze behind you, ‘cause you’ll never be immune

Well, prepare for the sweet surrender, when you yield in a cornfield

Tell me where did it go?

Tornado began, listen to the weatherman

Tornado—what a treat, if it touches down across the street

Tornado—when it blows, you just can’t beat a tornado!
