The dogs are letting postmen come and go

The muscle cars are driving way too slow

And everybody's walking on tip-toe

For every yes, a hundred no's

The kind of day when nothing hits the fan

The kind of day when nothing's in demand

The kind of day when music means Chopin

And love is shown by holding hands

It's the calm before the storm

Something big is coming soon, something that will

change your tune

It's the calm before the storm

False sense of security, shown to be a forgery

And everybody's talk is monotone

And everybody's look is monochrome

And everybody's flight has been postponed

The loudest sound's a dial tone.

It's the calm before the storm

Something big is coming soon, something that will

change your tune

It's the calm before the storm

False sense of security, shown to be a forgery

Something's about to break, but is isn't clear (Not

enough was going on, oh no)

Is it something we should cheer (Not enough was going

on, oh yeah)

Is is something we should fear (No enough was going on,

oh yeah)

The ocean doesn't feel like making waves

There's no one that the lifeguard needs to save|

And on one's in the mood for feeling brave

We're well behaved, so well behaved

It's the calm before the storm

Something big is coming soon, something that will

change your tune

It's the calm before the storm

False sense of security, shown to be a forgery
