Hurricane Isabel - Astronautalis

Teenage girls on skateboards

Riding past my window

Storm rolls in from Africa

And rain falls on the shingles

Teenage girls and skinny bones

Running from the rain

Power cuts out on the neighborhood

And I’m in the dark again

She had bare ankles, that’s a plus

Simple desire and demand met

By the girl who swore to God

That cold would cause her untimely death

God swore, «Bless the little one»

But then this off his dirty secret

Baby blue gossiped green his gossamer halo polished

I rub my halo upon my sleeve

And my apple upon the other

I see which one of these is coming clean

And which wasn’t worth the bother

I got a job that I am saving for

A wife and kids I’m waiting for

It’s kinda hard to be facing north

When you got a head full of things you can’t afford

Please, take my hand and hold them

Please, take them away from me

They do me far more harm than they ever could promise

To protect me from the sea

And I got a feeling

This thought, it isn’t so far out of the left side

It’s me verse the horseshoe

The corkscrew, and the next guy

A dream as American as missionary sex erector sets and apple pie

And I swear I’ll never, ever, ever make it out of this, this, this god-forsaken

land

And I swear I’ll never, ever, ever make it out of this, this, this god-forsaken

land

And I swear I’ll never, ever, ever make it out of this, this, this god-forsaken

land

Teenage girls and skinny bones

Riding past my window

Storm rolls in from Africa

And rain falls on the shingles

Teenage girls on skateboards

Running from the rain

Power cuts out on the neighborhood

And I’m in the dark again
