The Cardinals Lyrics

You're like a rain cloud
You have a gloomy demeanor similar to a dark cloud that releases rain.

If it rained mushroom clouds
If the rain cloud was a nuclear mushroom cloud, that would cause devastation.

Everybody hits the ground
Everyone seeks cover to protect themselves from the attack.

Arms folded, head down
People cower and cover themselves from the blast with their arms and heads down in fear.

You're like a missile strike
Your impact is similar to that of an explosive missile strike.

Government goes underground
The government or authorities seeks shelter underground to protect themselves.

Warhead on legs
You are a mobile weapon, capable of causing destruction on an impactful level.

What goes around comes around
Karma eventually catches up with everyone in the end.

Goes around comes around
Actions have consequences, and they will come back to the doer eventually.

So turn the radio on
Listen to some music to escape reality for a bit.

So turn the radio up
Crank up the volume of the radio and get lost in the music.

Loud and get down
Dance to the music and let loose.

Let your body move
Allow yourself to move and groove to the rhythm of the music.

Let your body sway
Move your body side to side in rhythm with the music.

Listen to the music play
Absorb the notes and melodies of the music being played.

It's magic, it's magic
The experience of being lost in the music is a magical one.

You're like a storm tower
You are a towering presence, similar to a storm cloud.

If it had fire power
If you were capable of projecting fire, your presence would be even more intense.

Everything you touch burns
Your touch has an intense heat that causes things to burn or scorch.

Scorched earth
Your presence leaves behind a path of destruction and devastation.

Water tower burned
Even a structure as durable as a water tower could not withstand the heat of your power.

Up to the ground
Your fire burns everything so intensely that it reaches the ground level.

Zombies running all around
An imaginary scenario where zombies roam around during a catastrophic event.

Eventually we hit the mall
People seek shelter in a mall during a crisis.

Lock it down at nightfall
Secure the mall to provide a safe haven for the people who seek shelter there.

I wish I had secret powers
A wishful thinking of having magical powers to make a difference.

I'd burn all of the power hungry clowns
The desire to eliminate those people who are power-hungry and corrupt.

And I'll shut 'em down
The desire to stop the corrupt people from causing further harm.

Give them radios and yos
Instead of weapons, offer them a chance to listen to music and relax.

And wake them up with jams on
Use music to open up their minds and consciousness to understanding and empathy.

Right after I disappear
A way to avoid any retribution or consequences for taking action, a hypothetical scenario.

Then disarm, disarm, disarm
The desire to take away any weapons or sources of destruction that the people in power have, to promote peace.

Don't watch the record go round
Don't be stuck in the past or continuously repeating the same mistakes.

Listen to the magic
Listen to and appreciate the enchantment of music and its ability to transport you.

And watch the record go round
Observe the record spinning and embrace the cycle of life and how things will continue to go around.
