Storm Cloud

[Silence]
[Arrangement: Driving rock groove, Hammond organ, electric guitar, thunder effects, bass, drums, layered call-and-response vocals]

[Intro]
Dark horizon
(Coming around)
Sky getting heavy
(Without a sound)

Pressure falling
(All around)
Something’s building
(Above the ground)

[Verse 1]
Far away
(It begins)
A distant rumble
(Blowing in)

Warm air rising
(Into the sky)
Feeding giants
(Mile high)

The atmosphere
(Is loaded now)
You can feel it
(Somehow)

[Pre-Chorus]
Black and gray
(Blocking the sun)
Looks like trouble
(On the run)

[Chorus]
Storm cloud!
(For crying out loud)
Look out!
(Lookout)
Danger wowed
(No doubt)

Storm cloud!
(Growing proud)
Calling out
(Loud and loud)
Danger wowed
(No doubt)

[Refrain]
Thunder!
(Rolling through)

Lightning!
(Coming, too)

Thunder!
(Rolling through)

What are we gonna do?

[Verse 2]
Heat below
(Fuels the rise)
Moisture climbing
(To the skies)

Every degree
(Adds a little more)
To what the atmosphere
(Is storing for)

Rain begins
(Then rain won’t stop)
Somewhere a river
(Jumps the top)

[Pre-Chorus]
Black and gray
(Blocking the sun)
Looks like trouble
(On the run)

[Chorus]
Storm cloud!
(For crying out loud)
Look out!
(Lookout)
Danger wowed
(No doubt)

Storm cloud!
(Growing proud)
Calling out
(Loud and loud)
Danger wowed
(No doubt)

[Bridge]
What was rare
(Is showing up more)
Knocking hard
(On the door)

The warmer the ocean
(The stronger the ride)
More energy
(Has nowhere to hide)

[Instrumental]
[Organ Solo]
[Guitar Solo]
[Thunder Effects]

[Final Chorus]
Storm cloud!
(For crying out loud)
Look out!
(Lookout)

Danger wowed
(No doubt)
Storm cloud!
(Over the crowd)

Calling out
(Loud and loud)
Danger wowed
(No doubt)

[Outro]
Alas…
(Wasn’t written in the forecast)
Hoped it would’ve passed

Amassed
(How long can it last)
