[Intro] [Dramatic timpani roll] [Spoken word over a suspenseful string swell] Sister Check the glass The mercury is dropping faster than my inhibitions We have got a severe depression moving in from the Atlantic And I don't think a warm front is coming to save us So put on your dancing shoes And let's ride the cyclone Hit it [Orchestral hit] [Explosion of brass and drums] [Verse 1] The disco ball is swinging like a pendulum of doom Throwing little sparkles round the panic in the room The floor is getting steep just like a mountain side But baby that just means we take a little slide I felt a splash of saltwater upon my satin shoe The forecast on the radio is turning navy blue So grab a partner quickly before they float away We are gonna shimmy shaking till the breaking of the day [Chorus] We got some Heavy Weather Coming for our souls We got some Heavy Weather Losing all controls The pressure is building and the clouds are on the floor I have never seen a hurricane indoors before Spin me round and hold me tight It is gonna be a bumpy night Heavy Weather Yeah [Verse 2] They say that lightning never strikes the same place twice But we are getting battered by the water and the ice The captain's on the bridge and he is praying to the sky But I am on the dancefloor and I'm aiming for a high The humidity is rising to a hundred and ten We are never gonna see the likes of dry land again So sweat it out darling let the fever take the lead Survival of the fittest is a rhythm that we need [Bridge] [Music drops out to just a kick drum and handclaps] Can I get a witness [Backing vocals] Yeah Can I get a life vest [Backing vocals] Yeah The waves are high [High soprano note] High The end is nigh [Growl] Nigh [Full band kicks back in] So testify [Chorus] We got some Heavy Weather Coming for our souls We got some Heavy Weather Losing all controls The pressure is building and the clouds are on the floor I have never seen a hurricane indoors before Spin me round and hold me tight It is gonna be a bumpy night Heavy Weather Yeah [Outro] [Vocal improvisation and ad-libs] Blow wind blow Let it go I'm soaking wet But I ain't done yet Ride the storm Ride the storm Woo [Fade out on a high sustained note] Heavy
