Elements
A Fine Frenzy · Bomb in a Birdcage [2009]
You show up like a hurricane, all hungry-eyed and weather-stained
The clock forgets to tick and I the same
I died the day you disappeared, so why would you be welcome here?
Ride the wind that brought you back away
No you can't come in
No you can't come in
I cannot stop my rebel hands from pulling out the pots and pans
I left you in the cold until you shook
You're gentle now, but I recall
Both tender fire and bitter squall
A history so deep it hurts to look
No you can't come in
No you can't come in
No you can't
You can't come in
If the sea should swallow up my house
I will turn my rooftop inside out and the wind will be wailing
But I will be sailing faster
Oh the elements I do not fear but I fall apart when you appear
Cause you are the greatest
The greatest disaster
If the sea should swallow up my house
I will turn my rooftop inside out and the wind will be wailing
But I will be sailing faster
The clock forgets to tick and I the same
I died the day you disappeared, so why would you be welcome here?
Ride the wind that brought you back away
No you can't come in
No you can't come in
I cannot stop my rebel hands from pulling out the pots and pans
I left you in the cold until you shook
You're gentle now, but I recall
Both tender fire and bitter squall
A history so deep it hurts to look
No you can't come in
No you can't come in
No you can't
You can't come in
If the sea should swallow up my house
I will turn my rooftop inside out and the wind will be wailing
But I will be sailing faster
Oh the elements I do not fear but I fall apart when you appear
Cause you are the greatest
The greatest disaster
If the sea should swallow up my house
I will turn my rooftop inside out and the wind will be wailing
But I will be sailing faster
