about

A song about looking to the horrible for rebirth.
A cleansing - trial by fire maybe. Baptism by wind.
When the society dregs give up on winning the lottery...

lyrics

Broken homes stare at cash advances
rusted fenders and plastic toys
storage lockers are for rent in the backyard
they're protected by the dirtiest girls and the most savage of boys

and the trailer witches in their shit brown neons
share lotto dreams on a cigarette break
the above ground pools - they of reek fallow water
when the sirens blow baby - it's already too late

We're waiting on something better
Our numbers to come up, for our lucky break
We're waiting for mister tornado
We've nothing left good but plenty to take

the funnel will blow off our misery
and it'll sweep clean our terrible lives
it'll sand blast our horrible children
and steal our detestable wives.

and on that day it'll be lucky and it'll be funny
and on that day we will clean up the slate
and on that day there will be no good warning
when the sirens blow baby - it's already too late
