Lyrics

Troubled weather's on its way
Tempests threaten us today
There's no respite from long dark nights
Just the fantasy of spring
From the hailstones of summer
To a scorching winter land
A frozen death sleep, then this heat
Beats down on this bucked land
Flames lick closer to the core
From city limits fireball
And in a headless chicken run
Race red and screaming fire engines
Then the cannons came
Oh, 'neath the brooding sky
Beneath its baleful eye
The cannon shot, the cannon crack
Disturbing night dreams
People fled in droves
To the lakes and to the shores
Left behind a near ghost town
Save the life of the cannons resounding
Still, there was no rain
No rain, no rain, no rain
Once more in the line of fire
Hovers the preying sky
The cannon's aim jabs at the eye
Heralding the rain
Heralding the rain
Oh, herald the rain
Herald the rain
Written by: Budgie, Siouxie Sioux, Steven Severin
