DJ Shadow - Storm Warning lyrics

Chorus 1 Lateef: Rivetin' worldwinds rippin' the world Women and children wait a minute we're all in jeapordy(2x) Chorus 2 (said along with chorus 1 repeat 1x) The rains incessant prattle rides restless in the saddle A land of a million horses power trotting to the pattern The rains incessant prattle Marches on & on & on & on & on & on & on &on [Lateef] It began at sea Three cross currents concurrently Creating the mother of all tempests to be Enter percipitation and Ioniozation The cloud cover hovered 'round ten thousand feet They sent it swiftly to meet The oceans waves peaks Along the jet stream Bars of fog sparkin', rollin, and pourin Needles of rain Thunderin' like god bowlin' lane [Lyrics Born] Crashing and Clapping The master craftsman pa**ionately Expressing his anger as angst And flashes of rain Insanity and fascinating Irrationally lashing out Fashioning from his magesic means Patters and waves Gravity couldn't tame Battering seas with scenes The skies were stained With the light white panes Of lightening veins By the grey clouds With grey silk ingrained Devastatin'(2x) Devastation(1x) [Lateef] The Baltic, Bulboous ,Cumlous Looked more like swabs of cottoon in a charcoal dip Stretched across all four tips of the horizion Yet it's movement was swift But there seemed to be a shift The squall paused With an oddness and stillness that felt ....Ominous [Lryics Born] Now if the storm was the servant And near the earths surface The congregation was stirrin', nervous, swervin' Like a burnin' furnace yearnin' It was churnin', peturbed And quite determined to be heard [Begin alt w/Lateef] So the ocean floor burst The earthquake merged And formed a network of cooridors Which made the earth porous The forch surged forth The surf roared And the stormin surf above It a**umed the same course Now the rain poured water And the basin toward corners And they both aimed toward the northern Califorina Shores And as the wind whispered warning The ground hinted authority The long shoremen lean Foreward oars Lower corner It's quadruples in proportion He was floored By his formal introduction to the force! Devastatin'! Riveting whirlwinds Chorus (3x) At the same time Rains incessant pattern Chorus(4x) [Lyrics Born] That afternoon the appatite of the catasrophe beast cooled Began by snackin' on the panoramic view Population of people Every single house was feeble In the eye of mouth of the storm The needle of the richtor scale teeterd and trembled So beautifully warm, Picturesque Hail shot through the window ceil The gla** splinters sailed Through the innards Of little Children Waitin for dinner They entered and exited The earth split like god flesh And them engulfed two whole blocks The roofs blew off like screw off tops The school of the arts, the schooner docks Plus huge supermarkets And all its human contents Uprooted and scooped on top Like Duplo blocks Now few alive to announce The true accounts what really amounts To rumor mills spouted huge amounts and dollar damage The doom, the trials, the tribulations Who can do with out the balance between life and total devastation [Lateef] Everything aroound you shakin' And you quakin' And you feel the rockin of the foundation Is made a slave to vibration Then down you go Your minds been slow Around you so Dishes flying out of the kitchen cabinet do'(door) A few crashin' when they smashin' the windows Thats when you recognize isn't just the terror in your eyes Or the fear between your ears It's the thunderin' and the rumblin' Is it over you're now wonderin' That's when the telephone poll Rips through the roof And adds the wide stake to your livin' room Natures heavy burden is now pa** along to you Your house heaves and pulls You watch the house next door Swallowed by a sinkhole It's outta coontrol, whoa! Rivetin' worldwinds rippin the world Women and children wait a minute were all in jeapordy(2x) The wind brought the rain, the rain cleared the lane And still made room for more rockin' The quake shook the state, the state took the bait And sank, and still made room for more rockin (echos) [Alt w/Lateef, begin Lyrics Born] It's like the bible says The Final days The tidal wave The earth to quake The storm to raise Simultaneously Smack the land ma** Bordering Cal-i-for-ni-a The pourin' rain The Smoke and flame The earth a gaping opening From growin' pains Broken main regurgatitin' Automatin' Pain You're off and daughter screams in vain The black became a rectangular lake Some people greivin', neighborhoods that hydroplane Heaven heavin', kept repeatin' Pa**enger and everybody try to escape On half a tank Hearts palpitate Valves breakin Cal state Fault line Open wide Ya fall flyin' Clothesline (??) car Blindsided by a semi Fallin' Cascadin' Golden gate Girders Following you Spiraling down the hemmoraging falls Devastatin!(1x) Devastatin!(1x)
