    Hurricane Season

    by: Kula Shaker

    He was an outcast from the island sailing across the sea
    Bending the horizon bearing with the breeze
    Searching for a treasure buried long ago
    'Cos nothing lasts forever except what you don't know
    But he weren't afraid of dying or stepping through that door
    The compass started reeling and he stared into the storm
    Soon everything was rolling and rolling like a hound
    And an angry ton of water knocked him to the ground
    And it kinda stands to reason
    It was hurricance season
    Hey-ey-ey-ey
    He was hanging in the darkness holding to the land
    Faces in the water of folks he'd left behind
    Saying 'boy you must be crazy should have stayed at home
    Stuck with what you'd started, stuck with what you know'
    And the sea had come to take him and snuff him like a light
    In the black and heavy water in the black and heavy sight
    And it kinda stands to reason
    It was hurricance season
    Hey-ey-ey-ey
    Hey-ey-ey-ey
    He called up to the angels he called into the deep
    Said 'God if you can hear me give me some relief'
    And He didn't ask for favours didn't want to ask for gold
    Only one posession possession of a soul
    'I'm begging for your mercy I'm begging to you please
    I'm just a simple traveller lost upon the sea'
    And it kinda stands to reason
    It was hurricance season
