We have a tradition in the South: When the storm is coming and we know it can't be turned back, we fling the windows open wide and party!

HURRICANE PARTY –Jordan Rand

We’re having a hurricane party.
We’re gathering all of our friends.
If you happen to be in the neighborhood,
Please join in.

They told us we had to evacuate.
We didn’t take it seriously.
We waited until it was much too late
To flee.

Now there’s plenty of beer in the ice-box,
And a feast full of food to go round.
There’s hours of music for watching
Waves crash down

We’ll open up all of the windows,
Move the furniture out of the way.
There’s only enough time left
For us to play

TWIRLING
ON THE EDGE OF DESTRUCTION.
TOYING
WITH A TIME-BOMB IN OUR HANDS.
BALANCING
WAY UP THERE ON THE WIRE.
GET US HIGHER
AND LET US
DANCE.

We’re having a hurricane party.
No, it isn’t exclusive at all.
The phone lines are down,
So don’t even try to call.

Just come to the address we’ve posted,
If the storm hasn’t blown it away.
There’s no such things a s a wallflower
Today.

I can’t think of anything better,
Or anything that I’d rather do
Than drink salt air with my marguerite
And be with you.

They say that the name of the one we love
Is the very last word we will cry.
I know you’re a little bit curious,
So am I.

TWIRLING
ON THE EDGE OF DESTRUCTION.
TOYING
WITH A TIME-BOMB IN OUR HANDS.
BALANCING
WAY UP THERE ON THE WIRE.
GET US HIGHER
AND LET US
DANCE.

We’re having a hurricane party.
We’re gathering all of our friends.
If you happen to be in the neighborhood,
Please join in.
