Lightning burned the fields 
Black fire choked our breath 
We huddled in the kitchen 
Sand poured through the walls 
We looked to one another 
The children shut their mouths 
The whirling and the turning 
Of destruction filled our house 
The blood-thirsty yearning 
Clamored all about us 
Darkness rose up 
From the floor like a demon 
Fearful of the death 
That buckled through our minds 
Shaken to the core 
Foresaken and unkind 
Well, the sun came a-shinin 
And the dust did settle down 
Birds and jack-rabbits 
Lay dead on the ground 
Electricity 
Trembled in the skys 
Sparks shot forward 
Causing us to fly 
Take some breakfast 
But the grit was in our food 
And everywhere around us 
Starvation broke on through 
My husband stood a-starin 
At the plentiful disaster 
God was in his eyes 
But death was in his heart 
Dried up whiskey 
Chickens in the house 
Stolen car stereo 
Cholesterol on your mouth 
Stolen car stereo 
Snowman all in flames 
Deluxe cockroach 
Telling me what's real 
Black Sabbath playing 
I wake up in my socks 
Candle all a-burnin 
Her face is on tv
