Lyrics

Flash Floods Don't Retreat

The atom's broken and the strings are comin' loose
The foundation isn't holdin' up the house
So what's the use? The dogs are barking and cats don't land on their feet
Flash floods don't retreat

Traffic lights take much longer to change
Well then, speed up, switch quick and stop again
Construction stops, the sidewalks don't wad up today
The birds fall into the nest and then soon, soon, soon
