Hurricane
The Buddaheads Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No matter how many times that you told me you wanted to
leave
No matter how many breaths that you took, you still couldn't
breathe
No matter how many nights that you lie wide awake to the
sound of poison rain
Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go?
As days go by, the night's on fire
Tell me would you kill to save a life?
Tell me would you kill to prove you're right?
Crash, crash, burn, let it all burn
This hurricane's chasing us all underground
No matter how many deaths that I die I will never forget
No matter how many lives that I live, I will never regret
There is a fire inside of this heart
And a riot about to explode into flames
Where is your God? Where is your God? Where is your God?
As days go by, the night's on fire
Tell me would you kill to save a life?
Tell me would you kill to prove you're right?
Crash, crash, burn, let it all burn
This hurricane's chasing us all underground
Tell me would you kill to save a life?
Tell me would you kill to prove you're right?
Crash, crash, burn, let it all burn




This hurricane's chasing us all underground
This hurricane's chasing us all underground.
