Cannons Lyrics by Siouxie And The Banshees

Cannons Lyrics

    Troubled weather's on its way
    Tempests threaten us today
    There's no respite, from long dark nights
    Just the fantasy of spring
    From the hailstones of summer
    To a scorching winter land
    A frozen death sleep, then this heat
    Beats down on this bucked land

    Flames lick closer to the core
    From city limits fireball
    And in a headless chicken run
    Race red and screaming fire engines
    The the cannons came

    'neath the brooding sky
    Beneath its baleful eye
    The cannon shot, the cannon crack
    Disturbing night dreams

    People fled in droves
    To the lakes and to the shores
    Left behind a near ghost town
    Save the life of the cannons resounding
    Still there was no rain

    Once more in the line of fire
    Hovers the preying sky
    The cannons aim jabs at the eye
    Heralding the rain .....
