lyrics

I awoke in a jolt to the sound
Of the jarring sirens rebounding
Off a nearby home and then directly onto mine
I arose to see a sky not blue
But green and dark and sad, but lovely
The temperature was warm as was the blood around my bones

Oh the city scurried off in worry
The children grabbed their favorite toys
As the parents all said their hail mary's
And ducked for cover in the basement
But I just sat on my front porch and I waited for salvation
Cause if there's gonna be a twister than I've gotta see it
And if there's any chance of lift off
Than by god, I wanna be in it

Cause I wanna go where Dorothy walked down that yellow road
Where nobody knows me or any of the mistakes that I've made
I could find me some courage
To face the day without you by my side
And maybe a new heart and a brain to help me out along the way

And then the rains subsided in an instant
As if it was almost never there
That's when I heard the rumble coming toward me like a train
And seven funnels formed before my eyes
And ripped right through those rail road ties
And as if in a predetermined course, headed straight into my arms

Oh, I closed my eyes and said a prayer
As I was lifted up in the air
And when my feet touched down again
This black and white life I used to live in
Was suddenly now technicolored
And I felt like I'd seen the face of god
Because I made it through the twister
And somewhere over the rainbow
Where the flowers are all little people
And my best friend is a scarecrow

Cause I wanna go where Dorothy walked down that yellow road
Where nobody knows me or any of the mistakes that I've made
I could find me some courage
To face the day without you by my side
And maybe a new heart and a brain to help me out along the way

Well this is all a dream I had one night
A subconscious image in my mind
With a vivid presence not unlike anything that you can touch
But in reality I'm just a man
With a twister of a past at hand
And it feels like I just can't move past all the wreckage of my love
