Tornado from Funkalypse by the Heard Eye
Remember when your dreams were in Day-Glo? Written on the morning after the most difficult night of my life, wrestling with the reality of having just lost my job, and then getting a notice that the landlady was selling the house and evicting me, and it was still Covid...

Lyrics
Tornado
Words and Music by Paul K. Schneider
Somewhere I hear you crying
You’ve lost your home again
And there is no denying
You’re on your own, my friend
Remember when your dreams were in Day-Glo
And all your thoughts were free
Now you’re dancing in the eye of a tornado
Endlessly
Oh, no, don’t beg for mercy
From gods who’ve shown you none
You know they’re in no hurry
Laughing, they watch you run
Remember when your dreams were in Day-Glo
And all your thoughts were free
Now you’re dancing in the eye of a tornado
Endlessly
What’s to be?
None can see
Caught up within the whirlwind
Hearing its demon song
Slowly, the sad truth sinks in
This was home all along…
Remember when your dreams were in Day-Glo
And all your thoughts were free
Now you’re dancing in the eye of a tornado
Endlessly
What’s to be?
None can see
Infinity
I, of the tornado
I, of the tornado
I, of the tornado
I, of the tornado
