[Instrumental Intro]
[Driving Bass, Electric Guitar, Hammond Organ, Tight Drums; Rhythmic, Urgent Groove]
[Spoken]
Did you see…
(The energy)
Comedy…
(Or tragedy?)
[Verse 1]
The energy is everywhere
Moving through the air
Heat is rising
Winds are flying
Water’s going who-knows-where
[Refrain]
The energy
(Is hitting me)
From every side
(Both far and wide)
A climate primate
(Getting hit)
… quite a bit.
[Chorus]
How is it hitting you?
(How is it hitting me?)
Energy
(Dramatically)
[Verse 2]
Evaporation till saturation
Pulling the heat high
(Way across the sky)
How long will it stay…
Waiting for the day
[Refrain]
The energy
(Is hitting me)
From every side
(Both far and wide)
A climate primate
(Getting hit)
… quite a bit.
[Instrumental Break]
[Heavy Guitar Riff, Hammond Organ, Bass and Drums; Sudden Stop-and-Start Rhythms]
[Bridge]
Energy… transformed!
[Response]
TRANSFORMED!
Energy… transported!
[Response]
TRANSPORTED!
Store, store store!
(Some more)
[Response]
STORE!
RELEASED
(Doesn’t cease)
[Spoken]
Never created.
Never destroyed.
[Pause]
So…
Where does it go?
[Whisper]
(You’ll soon know)
[Rap Vocal Break]
Hit!
(Hit!)
From the side!
Wide!
(Wide!)
Far and wide!
Where it goes
Nobody knows?
(Feel the flows)
Pour!
More!
(More!)
Knocking at the door!
Extreme…
(Know what I mean?)
Primate!
(Irate!)
Climate!
Getting hit
Quite a bit!
[Breakdown]
[Music Drops to Bass Pulse and Sparse Piano]
The question…
Is no longer…
Whether the energy exists.
[Pause]
It does.
[Pause]
The question is…
How…
Is that energy…
Hitting you?
(Tell me do)
[Build]
[Drums Enter Slowly; Guitar and Hammond Rise]
The energy…
Synergy…
HITTING!
[Final Refrain]
The energy
(Is hitting me)
From every side
(Both far and wide)
A climate primate
(Getting hit)
… quite a bit.
[Climactic Instrumental]
[Full Progressive-Rock Finale: Massive Guitar, Bass, Hammond Organ, Synth and Drums; Rhythmic Repetition of the Main Hook]
[Spoken Over Instrumental]
Energy cannot be created.
Energy cannot be destroyed.
Not the norm… not the mean
(Mean extreme)
[Pause]
And eventually…
Destructively
[Final Hit]
HOW IS CLIMATE ENERGY HITTING YOU?
(Tell me, do)
[Outro]
[Instrumental Fade: Guitar Feedback, Deep Bass and Distant Thunder]
The energy…
Is hitting me.
Quite a bit.
(Feel the hit)
About the Song
Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
But it can be transformed.
It can be transported.
It can be stored.
And it can be released.
The climate system is doing all four.
The question is no longer whether the energy exists.
The question is: How is that energy hitting you?
How Is Climate Energy Hitting You?
