First the engine cut, then car doors The garage door and the shoe heels Then the gate, the dogs and the screen door is alive And neighborhood kids in hiding places Fighting with each other's faces Tearing up the dirt and t-shirts in the yard Powerlines, star signs constellations Don't exist as information But they are all yelling anyway You can't stand the storm It's been happening since before you were born
And the fear that folds us over never changes There are two speeds: now and never It's all black and white forever Will we ever be comfortable? I don't know Though the fog and war are severed They are put right back together If you never say never, it'll never ever ever end You can't stand the storm It's been happening since before you were born Still the fear that folds us over never changes
