lyrics

Came out of nowhere, condensing from the ether.

You weren’t here or there, just a lovely dose of neither.

Awoke the sleeping ones who thought they wanted safety.

Nothing is guaranteed, except for all your needs.

Came out of nowhere, no one expected thunder.

Got into our hair and pulled us all under.

Destroyed the branches, the fragile outer layer.

But look at what remains after the cleansing rains.

Chorus:

You were the Queens tornado,

Cutting down everything in your path.

And like the high-powered lawyer of Siva the destroyer

You tossed it off with a laugh.

Came out of nowhere, or were we just ignoring

The things that needed care and gave us ample warning?

And it was over just as quickly as it started.

It blew the game away so we could really play.

(Chorus)

Bridge:

From Forest Hills to Jamaica Bay

Flushing our sunny side away.

Came out of nowhere and gave us a decision

Rip off the bandages or suture the incision

Rebuild the problem or let it go forever?

We’re starting over…
