[Chorus: Albert Bouchard]
Dumb clouds are raging
Stupid clouds at my door

[Chorus: Albert Bouchard]
Dumb clouds are raging
Stupid clouds at my door
Creepy weather coming
Coming 'round my floor
Dumb clouds stay away
And don't come back no more!
[Bridge: Joe Bouchard & Eric Bloom]

Dumb clouds are ringing
Ringing in my ear
Mother's wombs are crying
Ringing in my fear
Mothers never run
Except when rape is near
[Outro]
(Oh, cagey)
(Oh, cagey)
(Oh, cagey)
(Oh, cagey)
