WEATHER VAIN The sun set over calming seas Shining yellow, blue and red I smile, like all the others do But the weather’s in my head. The moon illuminates my room as I curl up in bed. Soft breeze blows billows over me But the weather’s in my head. Loud thunder rages up above and fills my heart with dread. Still, it and I are both the same ‘cause the weather’s in my head. Large hailstones bash against my skull and leave me there for dead. They’ve frozen up my precious brain. Why’s the weather in my head? The sun will thaw my ice-cold scalp I’m certain it will spread. For now, I rest in perfect peace whilst the weather’s in my head.

WEATHER VAIN The sun set over calming seas Shining yellow, blue and red I smile, like all the others do But the weather’s in my head. The moon illuminates my room as I curl up in bed. Soft breeze blows billows over me But the weather’s in my head. Loud thunder rages up above and fills my heart with dread. Still, it and I are both the same ‘cause the weather’s in my head. Large hailstones bash against my skull and leave me there for dead. They’ve frozen up my precious brain. Why’s the weather in my head? The sun will thaw my ice-cold scalp I’m certain it will spread. For now, I rest in perfect peace whilst the weather’s in my head.
