Something That Just Blew My Way

Lightning strikes, the pepper trees on fire
The moths gather round, so close they singe their wings
The rain won't fall, the clouds won't give up nothing
The flames jump a fence, and the telephone rings

And yes, its you thats on the line
"I can't talk now" I say
It seems I'm all tied up
In something the just blew my way.

The squad cars roll, the sirens aren't abating
Theres blood upon on the stairs, the moonlight makes it shine
Sometimes I feel lucky, lucky just for knowing
The chill by my side, in a world thats so unkind

And yes, You ask me what I know
Well you know I just can't say
I'm all tied up
In something that just blew my way

Now the helicopter beat upon the clouds like giant egg whites
Omnipotent eyes throw their light on mortal men
Tinny voices screaming in the amplified midnight
Footsteps on ashpalt in a dance without an end
