lyrics

you live in Tornado Alley watching the TV
now you’re playing Twister on the basement floor
spreading sweaty hands and legs until you’re sore
you live in Tornado Alley children scared silly
asking frequent questions just to feel reassured
the house won’t be tossed to the other side of the world

who can I confide in? tell “I hate my life” to
while I’m still young and can do something about it
who can I confide in? tell nothing= my life to
while I’m still young and can DO SOMETHING about it!?!?!

You live in Tornado Alley watching the TV
now you’re playing Twister on the basement floor
spreading sweaty hands and legs until you’re sore
You live in Tornado Alley from watch to warning
the heavens are storming just to feel reassured
that they still control this side of the world

who can I confide in? tell “I hate my life” to
while I’m still young and can scream and shout it
who can I confide in? tell I fake my life to
while I’m still young and can DO SOMETHING about it!??!
you live in T O R N A D O A L L E Y

In the yellow taxi turn to me and smile
by Combat Naps

Neal is a superb, innovative songwriter with playful and honest lyricism. He writes and records just about everything and does it in his room with modest tools that put some studio records to shame. Able Baker
