Black tambourine Black hearts in effigy We sing a song that was hated All dressed in rag and bones Sharks smell the blood that I'm bleeding I know there's something wrong Might take a fire to kill it Might take a hurricane

I'm a hurricane And there's a storm you're starting now I'm a wandress I'm a one night stand Don't belong to no city Don't belong to no man I'm the violence in the pouring rain And there's a storm you're starting I went down to a place in Bed Stuy

I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home I'm just trying to get home I'm not trying to stop a hurricane I'm not trying to shake the ground below I'm not trying to part the ocean waves I'm not trying to overthrow the throne I've been gone for so

Got nothing to lose I'm feeling tip top I'm not gonna stop I ain't got a clue Tapping my shoes So watch me move Imma hit you like a hurrica-a-ane To a brand new day-ay-ay Rolled out of bed today

I'm the hit-n-run lover Run for cover tonight You better get yourself runnin' I got hurricane comin' No warning surprise I'm gonna take my leave I wanna plant my seed Don't let it shock you hold tight, hold tight You better run for cover

I keep keep running And I keep… keep running Keep running Trying stop a river when it wants to rise Trying to stop a blaze off a burning fire I’m a hurricane, it ain’t stopping I keep keep coming back for more, no no I keep keep coming back for more, no

And it feels like rain Down here the river, meets the sea And in the sticky heat I feel ya' open up to me Love comes out of nowhere baby, just like a hurricane Lying here, underneath the stars right next to you And I'm wondering who you are and How do

This is the start of the ending Check mate, there's no defending When it's over, it's over, it's over I'm watching all the moves you make Can't turn back now, it's too late I'm counting all of your mistakes Caught up in a crossfire hurricane Wish I could

You've got to be the best You've got to change the world And you use this chance to be heard Your time is now Everything you are And everything you were Your number has been called

I'm going out I'm gonna drink myself to death And in the crowd I see you with someone else I brace myself 'Cause I know it's going to hurt But I like to think at least things can't get any worse No walls can keep me protected
