Hurricane Years

[Verse 1] I got a ticket to to nowhere, got no respect for the law I got no use 'cause it's all abuse, it's the cutting edge of the saw Ain't got no time for the future, ain't got no time for the past I'm running up a down escalator, I'm going nowhere fast [Pre-Chorus 1] I'm hanging on like a spider Blowing in the wind This storm's gonna tear a hole Right through this web I'm in [Chorus] Thunder, lightning The wind outside is so damn frightening But it's alright, alright Stand clear You're living in the hurricane years In the hurricane years [Verse 2] I've been through major destruction, I've seen through terrorists' eyes Sometimes, I feel no emotion, sometimes, I break down and cry I need to walk on a wire, I need a layer of skin I need a preacher breathing fire, to burn away my sins [Pre-Chorus 2] And I can't help the victims On the side of the road And I can't stop the cyclone That's about to explode [Chorus] Thunder, lightning The wind outside is so damn frightening But it's alright, alright Stand clear You're living in the hurricane years In the hurricane years [Post-Chorus] Yeah, blow! [Solo] [Bridge] Turn my eyes to heaven, watching all the clouds roll by I see the blood moon rising, I know I'm way too young to die [Chorus] Thunder, lightning The wind outside is so damn frightening But it's alright, alright Stand clear You're living in the hurricane years In the hurricane years [Outro] Oh, I got a ticket to to nowhere, got no respect for the law I got no use 'cause it's all abuse, it's the business end of the saw In the hurricane years We're living in the hurricane years Oh, in the hurricane years We're blowing in the hurricane years
