lyrics

The storm is rolling in tonight
The kids hide under their covers in fright
Mothers watch their laundry blow
And see the darkness begin to grow and grow

The thunder calls like a loaded gun
And soon we’ll all be washed clean
so lets hold each other near
The thunder calls like a loaded gun
And soon we’ll all be washed clean
Or so that’s what I thought my dear

all the neighbors walked out on their porch with a frightened look on their face
the rain falls down and down with a vicious grace (can you hear it roarin now?)
and soon the storm will wash away this petty town
and Noah will be laughing from his boat while we just sit and drown

the lovers all swam hoping that they would just grow wings.
They kiss quivering lips while redemption starts to sing
Everybody’s got to pay the price of livin their life
everybody's got to pay the price whether they're living it right.

They say everybody sinks or swims
But I’ll build a boat and let you in
We won’t give in to this so called will
I’ll cheat, I’ll steal, I’ll lie, I’ll kill

Sinners are saviors if you ask me
And we're living in a savage society
The storm is rollin in tonight
So say your prayers then turn out the light
Shut your eyes nice and tight
Cause you’ve got to pay the price for livin this life tonight
you've gotta pay the price
