lyrics

the storm is coming
from far off of the shore
started by a sunken, drunken commodore

it's spinning like a top
and eyeing up the land
nothing will ever escape its command

I'll batten down the hatches
you run out to the store
we'll head down the basement
and declare a war

open up a bottle of some wine
the wind will knock the needles off the pine
we'll drink and stack the bottles like a shrine ---
we'll pop the champagne; we're riding out this hurricane

now its made landfall
and the birds have flown away
nothing could change our mind
we're here to stay

there's flooding in the streets
the cars are floating by
we're counting all the flashes
lighting up the sky

I feel it closin' in--
the eye of the storm
there's only you and me
to keep each other warm

open up a bottle of some wine
the wind will knock the needles off the pine
we'll drink and stack the bottles like a shrine ---
we'll pop the champagne; we're riding out this hurricane
