The dogs are letting postmen come and go The muscle cars are driving way too slow And everybody's walking on tip-toe For every yes, a hundred no's The kind of day when nothing hits the fan The kind of day when nothing's in demand The kind of day when music means Chopin And love is shown by holding hands It's the calm before the storm Something big is coming soon, something that will change your tune It's the calm before the storm False sense of security, shown to be a forgery And everybody's talk is monotone And everybody's look is monochrome And everybody's flight has been postponed The loudest sound's a dial tone. It's the calm before the storm Something big is coming soon, something that will change your tune It's the calm before the storm False sense of security, shown to be a forgery Something's about to break, but is isn't clear (Not enough was going on, oh no) Is it something we should cheer (Not enough was going on, oh yeah) Is is something we should fear (No enough was going on, oh yeah) The ocean doesn't feel like making waves There's no one that the lifeguard needs to save| And on one's in the mood for feeling brave We're well behaved, so well behaved It's the calm before the storm Something big is coming soon, something that will change your tune It's the calm before the storm False sense of security, shown to be a forgery
