Calamity John

Come lovers, come loners, remember yourselves
As lusty tempestuous fools.
When to dream was to conjure an ocean
From your small secretarial pools.
When you stood a the Gulf of Unknowing.
When you saw the great Tundra of Time.
And you cried for the winds to come blowing.
And you called a monsoon from the tides of the moon.
Cause the roads were all dusty and dry
Gone rain dancing lonely tonight.
When what should appear in the distance.
Blowing hither and yon, it's Calamity John.
And he's coming to sweep you away.

He'll tear through the home front, he'll lift you up laughing.
He'll blow every signpost away.
As the weather report says, 'High drama,
With a five percent chance that he'll stay.'
Now the floor starts to rot and the roof goes.
And your friends say he's bad for your health.
And they've warned you about him on talk shows.
So you told him to pack, hit the road, don't come back,
And he said, 'Hey, don't flatter yourself.'
And you said,

'I'm closing my door to the storm.
I'm saving myself from its freedom.
I put the chain on, on Calamity John.
I don't want you to dance me away.'

So it's seven months later, you've bolted your hair back.,
You're almost immune to the moon.
And at parties you stay in the kitchen,
Common sense, with a big wooden spoon
All at once you can feel the storm coming,
As you burst out into the old refrain,
To the sound of America drumming.
Call it pain, call it art, call it opening your heart,
Let it go, let it fly, let it rain.
He smiles and the clouds turn to black.,
With the wind through the flowers come blowing.
The warning bell's on. 'What's your name? Oh it's John.
That's such an unusual name.'


Mirror lyrics:

That's such an unusual name.'
The warning bell's on. 'What's your name? Oh it's John.
With the wind through the flowers come blowing.
He smiles and the clouds turn to black.,
Let it go, let it fly, let it rain.
Call it pain, call it art, call it opening your heart,
To the sound of America drumming.
As you burst out into the old refrain,
All at once you can feel the storm coming,
Common sense, with a big wooden spoon
And at parties you stay in the kitchen,
You're almost immune to the moon.
So it's seven months later, you've bolted your hair back.,

I don't want you to dance me away.'
I put the chain on, on Calamity John.
I'm saving myself from its freedom.
'I'm closing my door to the storm.

And you said,
And he said, 'Hey, don't flatter yourself.'
So you told him to pack, hit the road, don't come back,
And they've warned you about him on talk shows.
And your friends say he's bad for your health.
Now the floor starts to rot and the roof goes.
With a five percent chance that he'll stay.'
As the weather report says, 'High drama,
He'll blow every signpost away.
He'll tear through the home front, he'll lift you up laughing.

And he's coming to sweep you away.
Blowing hither and yon, it's Calamity John.
When what should appear in the distance.
Gone rain dancing lonely tonight.
Cause the roads were all dusty and dry
And you called a monsoon from the tides of the moon.
And you cried for the winds to come blowing.
When you saw the great Tundra of Time.
When you stood a the Gulf of Unknowing.
From your small secretarial pools.
When to dream was to conjure an ocean
As lusty tempestuous fools.
Come lovers, come loners, remember yourselves

y'a qu'les filles qui m'intă©ressent

little star

put your lovin' on me

all at once

from the clouds

ohi ja over

amargo rencor

it feels so good

si j'etais toi

sinklars vă­sa

shadows

open your heart

esta noche

numb

waiting on an angel

toivon sinulle, ystăƒâ€văƒâ€ni

plastic

fast decision

the garden

why are you so mean to me
