There's a change in the weather There's a storm front rolling in There are dark clouds approachin' Lightning flashes within Better run for cover Or start drownin' in someone's sins They be seedin' the storm clouds They be tryin' to make it rain They say it's beneficial Give them fields lots of grain Better not be a deluge Or all the rain'll bring is pain If it keeps on a-rainin' The levee's gonna break All that murky, dirty, silty water Leaves destruction in its wake Better pack up them sandbags 'Cause all our lives are at stake There's a break in the weather And a sunbeam's peeking through There's survivors lookin' outside Everywhere debris is strewn Better start rebuilding Pray another storm don't come 'round here now soon

The radio alarm went off again Don't bother reaching for the snooze I hear an hour of interviews and then I finally kick the covers loose I take a shower, eat, and go to work And my mind is numbed by the tedium I come back home and turn the TV on Contemplate the day Go through the motions again This life is not what I'd call wonderful Trapped in a modern Bedford Falls Still, Pottersville could be desirable If I could break out from these walls I could use some color in this place Any glimmer of hope to stop this trend But Zuzu's petals have me shackled here Clarence, take me away I need a new happy end You bust your ass just to break away Then you're caught up in more red tape They never said there's more dues to pay Then you're thrown in the Cooler Left to plot your Great Escape Exchanged my passions for necessities My dreams and wishes put on hold My freinds keep getting opportunities And I'm left standing in the cold Hope it's not too late to make a change When it's over, I'll laugh among my friends If ever I get out of here someday Hope that I can say It all makes sense at the end

Bad Man 03:29
We've been good friends for the longest time Got the courage to say I want you to be mine But that man you're with won't treat you right Oh, I just can't stand it, gotta make you see the light But you don't even smile when I tell you I love you You don't even care that he's just gonna shove you You just wanna be where there's fun all around you And I know you're gonna cry 'til that bad man's taken away What you see in him, I'll never know Breaks my heart to see him use you for show Once he tires of you, he'll let you down Oh, but you don't need him, can't you see he's just a clown? Still, you don't even smile when I tell you I love you You don't even care that he's just gonna shove you You just wanna be where there's fun all around you And I know you're gonna cry 'til that bad man's taken away Sure enough, that man has now moved on Hard to see you like this, you need someone strong I'll take your hand and dry your tears Oh, believe me when I say that with me, there's nothing to fear Now, I see you smile when I tell you I love you You already know that I'm not gonna shove you It's easy to be where my arms are around you And you're never gonna cry now that bad man's taken away

She 03:45
It's not too hard to figure out Why my heart pounds when I see her From the way she smiles to her flowing hair She always makes me sigh The candy apple of my eye Life's sweeter when she's near She's a sunbeam in my rainy day A glimpse of clear, blue sky The stupid smile across my face Is a sure sign she's nearby She is the only one for me And it's oh, so plain to see that the way I feel for her Is love to the nth degree And I know it's futile to deny That I didn't even try to be subtle with my song Since you all can see that I'm in love with... She always knows when I'm feeling down And she's quick to lift my spirits When she whispers nothings in my ear And I'm instantly carefree I can't believe that she would be The one who's at my side After making love on a starlit night At our campsite by the sea That tiny sparkle in her eye Says her heart belongs to me Yes, I know that it's hard to tell If I'm blind with ecstasy But this is how I always felt That true happiness would be
