Storms are breaking in California
From the east coast a twister comes
She lies waiting for her lovers
A crumpled rag doll is cast away
Then they call her on the phone
Telling lies that she can see through
So they'll live inside
their hell tonight
Knowing they were saving their
own skin
Signing up for high ad venture
Young and innocent, so alive
Mules and asses held the high ground
While the lions stood like sitting ducks
Then they drove them through the fire
With a cry of we know better
So they'll live inside their hell tonight
Knowing they were
Saving their own skin
Sailing oceans to a new life,
friends and family are tied as one
Captain's table rocks with laughter,
glasses raised to a job well done
And the marketplace is waiting
for the souls that can't be bought
So they'll burn inside
their hell tonight
Knowing they were sham
ing mankind
Like a dead bird in a green field,
still and peaceful, the body lays
I don't need to witness something
to confirm all my deepest fears
But I climb into my car
and I stop the hell arriving
So I'll live inside my
head tonight
Knowing I was only floating
