[Intro]
What’s that rumbling?
(Off in the distance…)
What’s that flashing?
(No coincidence!)
November skies…
(An unusual sight!)
Hear it coming…
(Feel the might!)
[Verse 1]
The leaves have fallen, the nights are cold
But the atmosphere has a different hold
A flash of lightning across the sky
A rumble rolling, and the questions fly
Thunder in November, what a surprise
Storm clouds gathering in autumn skies
The seasons shifting, the patterns rearrange
The weather’s telling us something’s changed
[Pre-Chorus]
Warmer air
(Meets colder air)
More energy
(Collecting there)
The ingredients
(Are coming together)
An unusual storm
(In unusual weather)
[Refrain]
November thunder
(Does it make you wonder?)
How we got here
(Is quite clear)
Hear it roar
(There’s some more)
Hear it rumble
(As records tumble)
[Verse 2]
It’s not just one storm, one flash, one day
It’s the changing patterns along the way
A warmer atmosphere hold more moisture
And warmer oceans add more fuel to the picture
When cold fronts meet that warmer air
Instability can build up there
The seasons shift, the odds rearrange
And weather records reflect the change
[Pre-Chorus]
More heat
(More moisture)
More energy
(For the storm to foster)
The calendar says
(November’s here)
But the atmosphere
(Doesn’t follow the year!)
[Refrain]
November thunder
(Does it make you wonder?)
How we got here
(Is quite clear)
Hear it roar
(There’s some more)
Hear it rumble
(As records tumble)
[Verse 3]
A winter coat and a lightning flash
A summer sound in an autumn clash
The forecast says it’s getting strange
But there’s a science behind the change
… the long-term trend is plain to see
A warming world changes probability
Thunder in winter?
(Weird for sure)
Lightning in fall?
(That’s not all!)
Warm air rising?
(Cold air sliding!)
Weather extremes?
(Keep on climbing!)
One storm?
(Not the whole story!)
Long-term change?
(That’s the category!)
Boom!
(There it goes!)
Flash!
(Watch it glow!)
Rumble!
(Feel the ground!)
November thunder!
(Shake it down!)
[Final Refrain]
November thunder
(Does it make you wonder?)
How we got here
(Is quite clear)
Hear it roar
(There’s some more)
Hear it rumble
(As records tumble)
November thunder
(Keep on rolling!)
Atmosphere’s changing
(Keep on warming!)
Hear it roar
(Feel the power!)
November thunder
(At an unusual hour!)
[Outro]
Flash!
(Another light!)
Boom!
(Another sight!)
Rumble…
(As records tumble…)
November thunder…
(Does it make you wonder?)
THUNDER!
