I had a dream
A dream about a whirling cloud
Falling out
Out of a clear blue sky
It tore my house down
Shattered all the windows
That's the first time I saw a tornado
I had a dream
A dream about some aliens
They were living
Up inside my trees
They said they came here
To analyze the human race
But they didn't expect the tornadoes
And the winds go round their heads
There's no sign of rain
Still they end up getting wet
Yeah the winds go round the world
I met a woman
Standing in the dark of night
She held her daughter
Sleeping in her arms
She said, "I need four dollars
Or we don't have a room tonight
And my baby's afraid of tornadoes.
"'Cause the winds go round her head
There's no sign of rain
Still she ends up getting wet."
Yeah the winds go round the world
What makes you think you can resist the gravity?
A whirl of light and sound: romance, brutality
Just when you think you live another fantasy
It's your reality
I loved a woman
Who said she was in love with me
Maybe she was
I guess I wouldn't know
Sometimes at night
I think she's still there next to me
And that's when I dream of tornadoes
'Cause the winds go round her head
There's no sign of rain
Still she ends up getting wet
Yeah the winds go round the world
