The Calm Before the Storm Lyrics by Sparks

Past Tense: The Best of Sparks

0

[Chorus]
It's the calm before the storm
Something big is coming soon
Something that will change your tune
It's the calm before the storm
False sense of security
Shown to be a forgery

[Verse 1]
The dogs are letting postmen come and go
The muscle cars are driving way too slow
And everybody's walking on tip-toe
For every yes, a hundred no's

[Verse 2]
The kind of day when nothing hits the fan
The kind of day when nothing's in demand
The kind of day when music means Chopin
And love is shown by holding hands

[Chorus]
It's the calm before the storm
Something big is coming soon
Something that will change your tune
It's the calm before the storm
False sense of security
Shown to be a forgery

[Verse 3]
And everybody's talk is monotone
And everybody's look is monochrome
And everybody's flight has been postponed
The loudest sound's a dial tone

[Chorus]
It's the calm before the storm
Something big is coming soon
Something that will change your tune
It's the calm before the storm
False sense of security
Shown to be a forgery

[Bridge]
Something's about to break, but it isn't clear (Not enough was going on, oh no)
Is it something we should cheer? (Not enough was going on, oh yeah)
Is it something we should fear? (Not enough was going on, oh yeah)
Something's about to break, but is isn't clear (Not enough was going on, oh no)
Is it something we should cheer? (Not enough was going on, oh yeah)
Is it something we should fear? (Not enough was going on, oh yeah)

[Verse 4]
The ocean doesn't feel like making waves
There's no one that the lifeguard needs to save
And no one's in the mood for feeling brave
We're well-behaved, so well-behaved

[Chorus]
It's the calm before the storm
Something big is coming soon
Something that will change your tune
It's the calm before the storm
False sense of security
Shown to be a forgery

[Outro]
It's the calm before the storm
The calm before the storm
It's the calm before the storm
It's the calm before the storm
