Calm Before the Storm

I sat outside my front window

This story's going somewhere

He's well hung, and I am hanging on

There's a song on the radio that says

Let's get this party started

Let's get this party started

What you do on your own time's just fine

My imaginations much worse, I just don't want to know

What meant the world imploded, faded and demoted

All my oxygen to product gas

And suffocated my last chance

You said, between your smiles and regrets

Don't say it's over

Dead and gone, dead and gone

Calm before the storm, set it off

And the sun burnt out, tonight

Reception less than warm, set it off

And the sun burnt out tonight

The next time the phone can wring my neck

It gets no answer

And the time that I've spent telling in my roots

I'm shaking in my boots

But still it looks at me

Like an old friend I've betrayed

The dark side of the doormat

Is the one your shoes have frayed

What you do on your own time's just fine

My imaginations much worse, I just never want to know

What meant the world imploded, faded and demoted

All my oxygen to product gas

And suffocated my last chance

You said, between your smiles and regrets

Don't say it's over

Dead and gone, dead and gone

Calm before the storm, set it off

And the sun burnt out, tonight

Reception less than warm, set it off

And the sun burnt out tonight

♪

Calm before the storm, set it off

And the sun burnt out, tonight

Reception less than warm, set it off

And the sun burnt out, tonight

Tonight

The sun burnt out

The sun burnt out, tonight

The sun burnt out, tonight
