TWISTER (2017)
A sordid love story, inspired by a real tornado that touched down in New Orleans East.

lyrics

well it all went down when I heard him sing
like whiskey it was wild and warm
heard the preacher preach and the bells all ring
and then the rumble of a gathering storm
and when he took my hand the wind blew strong

I said put that down and back away slow
I’ve had about enough out of you now mister
well I can’t help you if you don’t know
but if it ain’t nailed down we gonna lose it in the twister

turn tail jump ship hop on a train
you better run boy ‘fore you in a world of pain
now I can hear it comin and we ain’t even kissed
if it ain’t nailed down we gonna lose it in the twister

well I’m not sure he heard a word I said
or really if I said it at all
cause the next I know I was in his bed
with a window and a clock on the wall
and the clock stopped tickin and the sky went black

I said good goddamn, now what have we done?
we tried to beat the devil but we couldn’t resist her
we lay down when we shoulda turned and run
now if it ain’t nailed down we gonna lose it in the twister

turn tail jump ship hop on a train
you better run boy ‘fore you in a world of pain
can’t beat the devil so you got to resist
if it ain’t nailed down we gonna lose it in the twister

had a home, now I got a hole in the ground
had a man, now I got a man about town
so take it from the lady in the rubble and wreck
when you feel that feelin on the back of your neck

just turn tail jump ship hop on a train
you better run girl ‘fore you in a world of pain
I have sinned but I never thought it’d end like this
if it ain’t nailed down I’m gonna lose it in the twister
