Who Names The Hurricanes Lyrics

    (prince/cambra)
    Wongo songo/bmi/
    Gazworks/ascap

    All along the lighthouse reef
    The turmoil sweeps in the soil and weeps its beef
    With a lack of warning--hey you
    Can't you read the signs
    Cartwheeling reams of trees
    They sound their dreams as they whistle by

    This weather uncaged--destroy
    Mother of troy an ancient god
    Descends upon the land
    And backhands the once serene

    Sound their dreams as they whistle by

    She's all the rage
    Who names the hurricanes

    Who mops up the sea and rings out
    The devil in a torn dress
    What will they name her
    What will she call him
    Whirlwind of a woman--this defiant one
    Who knows no sympathy for the weak
    She turns her other cheek

    To my feeble plea
    And my destiny

    She's all the rage
    Who names the hurricanes

    Call it catherine
    Dash with a flash in the pan
    Or constance
    With hell bent fury on man
    Try david
    He's a classic machismo

    Gail suits a catastrophic swipe of a steel brush
    Hush--hush
    She writes history and leaves no mystery
    As the wane moon unfolds and spills the hearts of a
    Thousand beaus on ones who came before

    Who comes from a dead hot fog
    Straight outta hermuda
    Like a colossal electric shaver
    Clipping a billion trees
    Transporting exotic birds to unfamiliar surrounds
    You resign to read the signs
    Up go the dread red flags
    Who's to blame
    What's in a name

    She's all the rage
    Who names the hurricanes

    What's in a name and who's to blame
    You can't resist these winds of fame
    Dub it diana--eye at the quiet core and more
    Jeannie--a soft warm breeze 'til she sneeze
    Unearthing eva--you musta believa
    Hunkraven hannah--has spumed yo face
    Alexandria--black browed savage grace
    Shirley burley bannana fanna fo fury
    Roxanne--the gusty tramp turns the sun into a sickly orb
    I'm amped!
    Madeline's the name they call the torrents of rain
    That maul my brain--she's insane!
    Cyclone gladys--the goddess oh so maddess
    Typhoon june's the tag they put on a force
    Such as this
    Who would name a storm bruce
    Only one whose ass is lose
    Calling camille--her howling hazards of late ravage
    The ground like an atom bomb
    Hugo--you go boy!
    Hurricane roy-oy oy!
    Big bertha--have mertha
