I met her on a rainy Tuesday
I think that’s appropriate
Her heart is the burning eye of Jupiter
Impossibly large
a churning that could destroy planets
She can talk about Jupiter for hours
She wants to live there
in a balloon city high above that hell
In defiance of nature and the void.
her voice is thunder, tears apart our home
love like a downpour, queen of the storm
I tried to drive right through
but I lost control
do do do...
hail like bullet shot from her fingers
And shattered the silver lining glasses
I used to protect my heart.
When I learned to see the new way
I found that silver linings can distract
from the beauty of the naked blue sky
her voice is thunder, tears apart our home
love like a downpour, queen of the storm
I tried to drive right through
but I lost control
do do do...
Her silence is the voice of the whispering God
tempering my pity with clarity
my sadness with action
and my sighs with a tongue in my mouth
I think you should run now
she’s coming down the street
and There’s only enough room in that shelter for you
don’t worry I’ve talked her down before
When I don’t come back
please write a song for me
about her madness
about my madness
about our madness
her voice is thunder, tears apart our home
love like a downpour, queen of the storm
I tried to drive right through
but I lost control
do do do...
