When we sleep we'll think of tornadoes

The kind that will tear down this town

And I know there can always be heroes

Who never look up but always down

And the cold fronts will be met with the warm ones

The TVs and sirens will all be on guard

Up with the new and down with the old sons

It's when you can't sleep that you try too hard

The new ones always try to beat the old

Underneath the sirens try to take control

The warm front's heading straight into the cold

And everything's beginning to unfold

I could pretend that I was a new king

And all of my laws would all be obeyed

We both know that you wouldn't do anything

But try to break every law that I made

So keep your barbed wire and your electric fence posts

For your kennel and for your pond

And next time the clouds come in from the west coast

Wait for the funnels and stay bended and calm

The new ones always try to beat the old

Underneath the sirens try to take control

The warm front's heading straight into the cold

And everything's beginning to unfold
