It starts like a depression on the radar screen Maybe it's a seasonal storm You know, a little rainfall can wash you clean But deadly clouds are starting to form Expand the walls around you, that's the first defense No one can look in your mercurial eye If you're always under pressure any disturbance And you can kiss your ass goodbye You can't keep it all in, this turbulence Waiting for the wind to change Right now you're somewhere over the ocean Spinnin' around tryin' to change your path Right now you're just churning up the water But someday you're gonna hit land There's a thousand angry voices swirling 'round in your head And they're squalling at you most of the time Words you wish you could take back, words you wish you'da said An unapologetic paradigm So you keep it all in this tempest Waiting on the wind to change Right now you're somewhere over the ocean Spinnin' around tryin' to change your path Right now you're just churning up the water But someday you're gonna hit land Better pray that the levee holds Hunker down when the wind starts blowing Better yet, evacuate the coast They'll feel the fallout out in west Wyoming Right now you're somewhere over the ocean Spinnin' around tryin' to change your path Right now you're just churning up the water But someday you're gonna hit land
