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
