Lightning burned the fields    Black fire choked our breath    We huddled in the kitchen    Sand poured through the walls    We looked to one another    The children shut their mouths    The whirling and the turning    Of destruction filled our house    The blood-thirsty yearning    Clamored all about us    Darkness rose up    From the floor like a demon    Fearful of the death    That buckled through our minds    Shaken to the core    Foresaken and unkind    Well, the sun came a-shinin    And the dust did settle down    Birds and jack-rabbits    Lay dead on the ground    Electricity    Trembled in the skys    Sparks shot forward    Causing us to fly    Take some breakfast    But the grit was in our food    And everywhere around us    Starvation broke on through    My husband stood a-starin    At the plentiful disaster    God was in his eyes    But death was in his heart    Dried up whiskey    Chickens in the house    Stolen car stereo    Cholesterol on your mouth    Stolen car stereo    Snowman all in flames    Deluxe cockroach    Telling me what's real    Black Sabbath playing    I wake up in my socks    Candle all a-burnin    Her face is on tv
