lyrics

She’s colouring pictures to keep herself calm while they scream obscenities to her on the phone.
She’s counting on the whole universe and the lotto tickets inside her purse.

She’s painting abstracts with discounted acrylics then finding the faces of the loved ones she misses.
She’s letting it all get the better of her and the losing tickets inside her purse.

Tornado over The Eldorado tonight.
Tornado over The Eldorado tonight.
When it all blows over she will be just fine.
It’s such a bad year for good feelings inside.

He drew a bath, first shaking off all intrusions. Leaving her to draw her own conclusions,
Of their history of riding the see-saw. Was this just his luck of the draw?

Tornado over The Eldorado tonight.
Tornado over The Eldorado tonight.
When it all blows over she will be just fine.
It’s such a bad year for good feelings inside.

Outside there’s another new threat. She stays calm with another cigarette to spark.
Inside there’s a further upset. Emptiness and altogether bereft of picture postcards.

Tornado over The Eldorado tonight.
Tornado over The Eldorado tonight.
When it all blows over she will be just fine.
It’s such a bad year for good feelings inside.
It’s just a bad year for good feelings inside.
Watch out for those tornadoes tonight!
