She said you'd given up,

Your folks told me you should be left alone,

On a mountain top knocking the aeroplanes down with stones.


Do the whirlwind and carry the hope that stings all night long,

Don't abandom him 'cause he quivers when he hears your song,

Believe me, it's safe to see.


At least be confused about right and wrong,

Plan to settle down,

Over the moon under the sun.


Do the whirlwind and shotgun the seat that beats

Hanging on to the one you love

To keep keepin', sleepin', dreamin' on.


Folks given up under the quivers and lines,

You do the whirlwind,

Don't abandon, 

Get a handle of yourself, son
