Watch out for the storm hide like an onion and keep yourself warm Watch the barometer and study the form you've been warned But if you never listened to a blind man's whim You will never gain admission to the human swim And your fusion will be fission all over again Picked up by the wind Take a look through the glass what's out there is coming up fast Be prepared for the blast cause it won't last If you ever suspected that you have sinned If you ever expected a lottery win You will never get infected if you don't jump in Picked up by the wind Picked up by the wind picked up by the wind Picked up by the wind you ain't safe inside your skin Think you need new clothes fallen asleep too often in those Lose all your cares and your woes touch your toes But if you never experience a change of plan You will never enjoy the verse that don't scan You'll lose the meaning of life and end up like Desperate Dan Picked up by the wind Picked up by the wind picked up by the wind Picked up by the wind you ain't safe inside your skin What's that knock at your door What's that junk mail doing all over the floor Who's that being a bore and what's in store Keep your eyes on the sky for a warning sign Keep your hands on your boots because they could be mine And if you're swimming upside down well it can turn out fine Picked up by the wind
