Elements Lyrics - Bomb In A Birdcage - A Fine Frenzy

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 the 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 

Of my life 

If the sea should swallow up my house 

I will turn the rooftop inside out 

And the wind will be wailing 

But I will be sailing faster
