She Don't See the Twister

She don't see the twister
She just feels the wind pick up

She don't know the nonsense
She don't see the drop in luck

She believes in petty thieves
And promises that keep

Watch her jump
Until she's jumped
Then ask her
What she needs

She's a shelter
She's protected
She's unreachable

She don't see the twister
She don't know
She don't know what she should do
She don't see the twister
She just sees you

She just sees
A picture of you

She's got superstitions
And traditions on her shelves

She don't beg forgiveness
From us or from herself

She's a sweetheart
She's a preacher
She's a teaching fool

She don't see the twister
She don't know
She don't know who she can trust

She just nods and kneels
Never planning
On ever getting up

Watch debris pass her by
Watch other's worries
Make her cry

Watch her not notice
When she's washed away
Into another disappearing day

She don't notice
She don't know
She doesn't need to be

She feels safe
In danger
If the danger comes from me

And she has perfect vision
For someone
Who can't see
