Gil Wrayson - Hurricanes [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro with Mythical Noah's guitar being repeated and a portion of "The Way It Is" played on piano]

[Verse 1]
Hurricanes
Brings families pain
And ain't nothing gonna stop Katrina and its waves
Devastation, suffocation
Recovery should be an obligation
The nation's scared
Unbearable to stare at for too long
Release of a country song
For charity
Charitable donations
I think that we all need an education

[Hook]
When you were young, you're told
That's just the way it is

[Piano segue]

[Verse 2]
Acting cold, acting salty
It lies below the warm and fresh, but things are faulty
Towering hurricane mixes the two
And west-easterlies move them fro and to
Intertropical convergence zone
Serves as the hurricane's backbone
Crabs, oysters, turtles of the sea
Are crushed by the changing salinity

[Hook]

[Piano segue]

[Verse 3]
Scale number 1:
Find a new shrubbery
And your unanchored mobile home is a friend in need
The notes of the hurricane reach above the trees
Are you displeased?
2: Mobile home's in danger
Better alert your local parking ranger
Apartment roofs get chipped
And from the ground, the trees are ripped

[Hook]

[Piano segue, but this time it's cut off mid-play]

[Verse 4]
3: Hey, trailer park boys
The hurricane battered your homes; you overjoyed?
And the local Mickey Dees gets McFlooded
Like the Rick James would say, "That's cold-blooded"
4: Mobile homes are flat
What else did the hurricane pull from its hat?
How about some puddles in the basement?
Bye, electronics
Bye, near-mint

[Hook]

[Electric guitar segue]

[Verse 5]
5: Now you've lost your house
And your favorite slacks and your favorite blouse
Car dealerships get a new address
As they're blown in the air in the manager's stress
And what's that body floating around?
Small and still, not making a sound
You know, he looks a lot like your son
Now the damage is done
