Intro

My love, I am the speed of sound

 I left them motherless, fatherless

 Their souls dangling inside-out from their mouths

 But it's never enough

 I want you

 Carve your name across three counties

 Ground it in with bloody hides

 Their broken necks will lie in the ditch

 Till you stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it

Stop this madness

 I want you

 I have waited with a glacier's patience

 Smashed every transformer with every trailer

 Till nothing was standing

 Sixty five miles wide

Still you are nowhere, still you are nowhere

Nowhere in sight

Come out to meet me

Run out to meet me

 Come into the light

 Climb the boxcars to the engine, through the smoke and to the sky

Your rails have always outrun mine. So I...

 Picked them up and crashed them down

 In a moment close to now

 Cause I miss, I miss, I miss, I miss

I miss, I miss, I miss, I miss

 How d'you sigh yourself to sleep

 When I'd rake the springtime

 Across your sheets

 My love, I am the speed of sound

 I left the motherless, fatherless

 Their souls dangling inside out from their mouths

 But it's never enough

My love, I'm an owl on the sill in the evening

 But morning finds you

 Still warm and breathing

This tornado loves you, this tornado loves you

This tornado loves you, this tornado loves you,

This tornado loves you...

 What will make you believe me?
