Wind Tunnel

Mirrored Refrain:
Pattern-- xaBA, xbAB, xaBA, xbAB, xaBA,xbAB, xaBA


Clouds move in faster
A circulating wind tunnel
A fascinating disaster 
Up until the end

Raindrops start at pea size
Hail than proceeds
Up until the end
A fascinating disaster

Cylinders form in all directions
Rapid, rampant running funnels
A fascinating disaster
Up until the end

Whistling sounds everywhere
The storm shows us all its greed
Up until the end
A fascinating disaster

Property damage and utter chaos
Erupt in streets once peaceful and humble
A fascinating disaster
Up until the end

Shrapnel whipped from within 
Taking life and whatever else it needs, feeding
Up until the end
A fascinating disaster

At a blink of the eye
Funnels disappear, thunder fades a fierce rumbling grumble
A fascinating disaster 
Up until the end
