I am closing my door to the storm I am saving myself from its freedom I have put the chain on, oh calamity john I don't want you to dance me away---aye i aye ayy So its seven months later you've bolted your hair back You're almost immune to the moon And at parties you stay in the kitchen Common sense with a big wooden spoon All at once you can feel the storm coming As you burst out into the old refrain To the sound of america drumming Call it pain, call it art, call it open your heart Let it go let it fly, let it rain(oh yeah) He smiles and the clouds turn to black With the wind through the flowers come blowing The warning bell's on, "what's your name, oh it's john", That's such an unusual name---aye i aye ayy Related Lyrics Random lyrics: I Had No Right, I Have Lost My Dreams, I Love I Love, I Love, I Love (Traveling II), I Love, I Love [Travelling II], I Saw A Bird Fly Away, I Wont Be Your Yoko Ono, If I Wrote You, Iowa, Iowa (Traveling III), Ireland, It Happens Every Day, Its A War In There, Mark Rothko Song, Mercy Of The Fallen, Mortal City, My Friends, O Canada, O Canada Girls, Party Generation, Play The Greed, Playing To The Firmament, Road Buddy, Southern California Wants To Be Western New York, Spring Street, Starman, Teenagers, Kick Our Butts, Terrarium, The Babysitters Here, The Ballad of Mary Magdalene, The Ballad Of Mary Magdelan, The Beauty Of The Rain, The Beauty of the Rain Is How It Falls, The Blessings, The Christians and the Pagans, The Christians The Pagans, The End Of The Summer, The Great Unknown, The Mercy of the Fallen, The Ocean, The One Who Knows, The Pointless, Yet Poignant, Crisis Of A Co-Ed, The Pointless, Yet Poignant, Crisis Of A Co-Ed, The Worlds Not Falling Apart, This Was Pompeii, Traveling Again, Traveling Again (Traveling I), We Learned The Sea, What Do You Hear in These Sounds, What Do You Love More Than Love, Other Dar Williams song Lyrics After All Lyrics All My Heroes Are Dead Lyrics Alleluia Lyrics And A God Descended Lyrics Another Mystery Lyrics Are You Out There Lyrics Arrival Lyrics As Cool as I Am Lyrics Beauty Of The Rain Lyrics Better Things Lyrics Bought And Sold Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Daran et les chaises Lyrics Darcane Lyrics Darci Cash Lyrics Daredevil Lyrics Daredevil soundtrack Lyrics Daredevils Lyrics Dargaard Lyrics Darin Bobby Lyrics Darin Zanyar Lyrics Darina Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
