Just when I thought I got the block again

It hit me like a chain of lightning crashing down through my heart

Got in bed just to get right out again

Batting like a smile flipping me off from the next car

How long till global warming kills us?

I’m sitting on a cloud

Wondering how long it takes for all of us to drown

Walkin’ out of this studio apartment where the walls are cracked and thinning

I’m smelling like dirty laundry and months-old coffee

And did someone turn the heat on in here?

I’m burning up (who knows who did what)

So I skip down the stairs to find the payphone ringing on the corner of Clinton and Riv.

And the dial tone melts into a chorus of voices and it’s singing

Hey Snake! Do you see it yet?

(What do you see?)

Yeah, this is the big one, it's coming, it's the big one (big wave)

Yeah, this is the big one, yeah, this is the big one coming

Just when I thought I got the block
