T hunder on the mountain and there's fires on the moon
a ruckus in the alley and the sun will be here soon
T oday's the day gonna grab my trombone and b low
W ell there's hot stuff her e and it's everywhere I go
I was thinkin' 'bout Alicia Keys couldn't keep from crying
When she was born in Hell's Kitchen I was living down the line
I 'm wondering where in the world Alicia Keys could be
I been looking for her even clear thro ugh Tennessee
F eel like my soul is beginning to expand
Look into my heart and you will sort of understand
Y ou brought me here now you're tryin g to run me away
T he writing on the wall come read it come see what it say
T hunder on the mountain rollin' like a drum
Gonna sleep over there that's where the music coming from
I don't need any guide I already know the way
R emember this I'm your servant bot h night and day
T he pistols are poppin' and the power is down
I'd like to try somethin' but I'm so far from town
T he sun keeps shinin' and the North Wind kee ps picking up speed
G onna forget about myself for a while gonna go out a nd see what others need
I 've been sittin' down studyin' the art of love
I think it will fit me like a glove
I want some real good woman to do jus t what I say
E verybody got to wonder what's the matter with this cruel world today
T hunder on the mountain rolling to the ground
Gonna get up in the morning walk the hard road down
S ome sweet day I'll stand bes ide my king
I wouldn't betray your love or any other thing
G onna raise me an army some tough sons of bitches
I'll recruit my army from the orphanages
I been to St. Herman's church said my religious vows
I 've sucked the milk out of a thousand cows
I got the porkchops she got the pie
She ain't no angel and neither am I
S hame on your greed shame on you r wicked schemes
I 'll say this I don't give a damn ab out your dreams
T hunder on the mountain heavy as can be
Mean old twister bearing down on me
A ll the ladies in Washington scrambling to get out of town
L ooks like something bad gonna happen better ro ll your airplane down
E verybody going and I want to go too
Don't wanna take a chance with somebody new
I did all I could I did it right the re and then
I 've already confessed - no need t o confess again
G onna make a lot of money gonna go up north
I'll plant and I'll harvest what the earth brings forth
T he hammer's on the table the pitchfo rk's on the shelf
F or the love of God you ought to take pi ty on yourself
