BLACK CLOUD

On   YouTube,  performed  LIVE  by  MICK TERRY   (soon!)

"Do you really want to deny my daughter
the right to some toilet rolls?",
I was yelling at the face of the guy who owned the store.
Trying to survive the impending slaughter,
I'd missed a minor protocol
of my paying for the goods as his body blocked the door.

    There's a
    DEADLY OMINOUS BLACK CLOUD
    heading right this way.
    There's a
    DEADLY OMINOUS BLACK CLOUD coming.
    No time for preparation. No time to say goodbyes.
    There's a
    DEADLY OMINOUS BLACK CLOUD coming.

"Do you really want to deny your daughter
tonight in her daddy's arms?",
as he leveled both the barrels of his twelve-gauge to my chest.
What the hell do you think does it really matter?
People running out his store in swarms.
& I toss a wad of bills & I tell him, "Keep the rest!"

    CHORUS

        How come we didn't see it coming?
        How come we didn't move far away?
        How come we didn't hear the drumming?
        How can we see another day?

Could I really want to deny my daughter
the life that she should deserve?,
as I'm running up the hill with my arms chock full of supplies.
Did I ever stop and really re-consider
the lives that I could have served?
Have we made the best of choices & chances with our lives?

    CHORUS
