The Wind's Coming In

The wind's coming in
Knocking out the electricity
Pulling the plugs
Out of the sockets
Complaining about the heat

The wind's coming down
From two states up
To see if we've been good
Or if we need to be reminded
To be good

The wind's stirring up
Bringing up things we forgot
Pointing out our secrets
Showing us our hidden places
Cleaning up the messes we keep forgetting
To mop up

The wind's blowing by
Trying to catch our attention
Turning off the television
Opening up the cupboards
Pouring beer down the sink

The wind's coming in
And it's not going out
And rather than acknowledge it
We choose to live in it

From here on in
We're the people in the wind
And we're already used to it
