| Thunder on the mountain, and there’s fires on the moon
|
| A ruckus in the alley and the sun will be here soon
|
| Today’s the day, where I’m gonna grab my trombone and blow
|
| Well, there’s hot stuff here and it’s everywhere I go
|
| I was thinking about Alicia Keys, couldn’t keep from crying
|
| When she was born in Hell’s Kitchen, I was living down the line
|
| I’m wondering where in the world Alicia Keys could be I been looking for her even clear through Tennessee
|
| Feel like my soul is beginning to expand
|
| Look into my heart and you will sort of understand
|
| You brought me here, now you’re trying to turn me away
|
| The writing on the wall, come read it, come see what it does say
|
| Thunder on the mountain, rolling like a drum
|
| Going to sleep over there, that’s where the music is coming from
|
| I don’t need any guide, I already know the way
|
| Remember this, I’m your servant both night and day
|
| The pistols are popping and the power is down
|
| I’d like to try something but I’m so far from town
|
| The sun keeps shining and the North Wind keeps picking up speed
|
| Gonna forget about myself for a while, gonna go out and see what others need
|
| I’ve been sitting down studying the art of love
|
| I think it will fit me like a glove
|
| I want some real good woman to do just what I say
|
| Everybody got to wonder what’s the matter with this cruel world today
|
| Thunder on the mountain rolling to the ground
|
| Gonna get up in the morning walk the hard road down
|
| Some sweet day I’ll stand beside my King
|
| I wouldn’t betray your love or any other thing
|
| Gonna raise me an army, some tough sons of bitches
|
| I’ll recruit my army from the orphanages
|
| I been to St. Herman’s church, said my religious vows
|
| As I’ve sucked the milk out of a thousand cows
|
| I’ve got the pork chops, she’s got the pie
|
| She ain’t no angel and neither am I Shame on your greed, shame on your wicked schemes
|
| I’ll say this, I don’t give a damn about your dreams
|
| Thunder on the mountain heavy as can be Mean old twister bearing down on me All the ladies in Washington scrambling to get out of town
|
| Looks like something bad is going to happen, better roll your airplane down
|
| Everybody going and I want to go too
|
| Don’t wanna take a chance with somebody new
|
| I did all I could, I did it right there and then
|
| I’ve already confessed, no need to confess again
|
| Gonna make a lot of money, gonna go up North
|
| I’ll plant and I’ll harvest what the earth brings forth
|
| The hammer’s on the table, the pitchfork’s on the shelf
|
| For the love of God, you ought to take pity on yourself. |
