lyrics

Flash Flood (E. Beaumont/T. Pierce/D. McKinney)

Freeze all passion, lose all anger, and
turn your heart from the danger, stranger
Rewrite history with phony mystery
Dollars direct souls from the sisters

We ignore the signs from above and below
like hairspray into the raging inferno
The earth is burning, the more we are unlearning
We need to keep it turning

Flash flood – cry blood
Tears of almighty, flood
Don’t you go swimming in lightning – flash flood
Swim blind at night – brothers, mind your strokes

Follow your gurus, follow your blues
down the dead end of the past
I’m tired of paying dues; it’s too late to lose
I cut out my heart with a shotglass

Kiss old friends goodbye, never notice the color of an eye,
kill your brother for his unnerving likeness to the I,
buy into tomorrow, someone else’s freedom borrow
Whose force you gonna follow?
