Who Names the Hurricanes The Tubes

All along the lighthouse reef
The turmoil sweeps in the soil and weeps its beef
With a lack of warning--Hey you
Can't you read the signs
Cartwheeling reams of trees
They sound their dreams as they whistle by

This weather uncaged--destroy
Mother of Troy an ancient god
Descends upon the land
And backhands the once serene

Sound their dreams as they whistle by

She's all the rage
Who names the hurricanes

Who mops up the sea and rings out
The devil in a torn dress
What will they name her
What will she call him
Whirlwind of a woman--this defiant one
Who knows no sympathy for the weak
She turns her other cheek
