There'll be pain ahead, as there always is As long as I'm around you But for now I hope we'll just enjoy The calm before the storm It's so quiet now, when we fall in love "Oh, finally, I've found you" And the world stands still Oh, what a thrill The calm before the storm But lightning strikes again She rears her ugly head With ecstasy and sorrow In the air, quite a pair I was wiser then, I'm much younger now That I see I knew nothing Though depressing, I must recognize The calm before the storm I know it's only right Winds blow, with all your might The house of cards goes toppling Every time, by design Da-da da-da da Da-da da-da da Da-da, da-da, da-da da And the world stands still, oh, what a thrill The calm before the storm And it's still a thrill, when we stand still The calm before the storm For now and nevermore
