Lyrics

FLOOD LINES

The white lightning flashed
The canyon clouds crashed
Lip sync to the thunder
The big storm grew
The smart birds flew
To the land down under
There was no reprieve
I couldn’t leave
This night of wild wonder
No, I couldn’t leave
Not without my Eve
My wild woman of wonder

The hard rains rolled
Like he foretold
Occupying the land
I left the Ark
Double parked
Down by the Navy Rock Band
Wouldn’t you know
When we had to go
No one would give us a hand
We looked around
For higher ground
A place to make our stand

A sign by the curb
Said, “DO NOT DISTURB!”
And we began to cry
All alone there
We felt despair
Felt we were about to die
The water got deeper
Scuba gear Grim Reaper
Gaily went swimming by
Shared our last words
But then we heard
A low voice from on high

“Hang loose, my friends
This isn’t the end!”
(He was backed up by a choir.)
“Be of good cheer
There’s nothing to fear
I will take you higher
You’ll learn soon enough
This is all small stuff
The big one comes with fire
Yes, you’ll learn soon enough
This is all small stuff
The big one comes with fire.”
