Sam Bisbee – What A Waste Of A Hurricane lyrics

[The storm gathers strength over the cold dry earth.
Instead of losing its shape, the eye wall focuses and blinks.
Each eyelash smashing through the tree line, until the eye closes.
Lights out.
Its hard to believe this is the end of the world, but it is....]

Oh what a waste,
of a hurricane.
Take a look at this place;
it's just a little wind and rain.
No hail-stones,
no sunken homes.
No wall of mud,
no thousand-year flood.

Oh, what a waste,
of an apocalypse.
Take a look at your face,
you thought there’d be more than this.
No voice of god,
no ball of flame,
and all we’ve got,
is still the same.

And I can't believe,
that we wont be,
here to see the sun explode in the sky.
Way up h-i-g-h,
it was worth a try.

Oh. what a waste,
of an American dream.
We’re going straight up into sp-a-ce,
with plasticine.
No fight, no drum,
no king-dom come.
No world to run,
no war to be won.

And I can’t believe,
that we wont be,
here to see the sun explode in the sky.
Way up h-i-g-h.
it was worth a try.

Oh what a waste,
of an American dream.
Were going straight up into sp-a-ce,
with plasticine.
No fight no drum,
no king-dom come.
No world to run,
no war to be won

And I can’t believe,
that we wont be,
here to see the sun explode in the sky.
Way up h-I-g-h,
it was worth a t-r-y.

Oh, what a waste
of an apocalypse.
Take a look at your face.
Thought there’d be more than this.
No voice, of god,
no ball of flame.
And all we’ve got,
its still, the same.

And I cant believe,
that we wont be,
here to see the sun explode in the sky.
Way up h-i-g-h,
it was worth a try.

Oh, what a waste -
of an American dream.
Were going straight up into spa-yi-ace -
with plasticine.
No phone, no drum,
no king-dom come.
No world to run,
no wars to be won.

And I cant believe,
that we wont be
here to see the sun explode in the sky.
Way up h-i-g-h,
Oh it was worth a try.

Oh, what a waste,
of our last re-frain.
We can’t replace,
our old remains.
Oh, what a waste,
of a hurricane,
of a hurricane,
of a hur-ri-cane.
oh, yes
Ooh what a waste, yeah,
of a hurricane,
of a hur-ri-cane.
