[Intro] Tiny clouds gather in a paper-blue sky Button eyes blink as the warning bells chime [Verse 1] I arrive with a ribbon and a grin Little white boots on the pavement begin Puddles climb up to the windowsill Sugar on my tongue, but the forecast is ill I tap-tap-tap on the neighborhood gate Everyone waves till they notice too late Umbrellas tumble like petals below I giggle sweetly, then the pressure will grow [Pre-Chorus] Count one, count two, hear the rooftops shake Make a wish before the whole town wakes [Chorus] Here comes the thunderstorm, darling, run! Cotton-candy lightning, blocking out the sun Roll, roll, roll till the tall walls fall I’m a tiny little terror taking everything all Smile for the weather, wave goodbye Candy-colored clouds swallowing the sky Roll, roll, roll, no place to hide I bring the sweetest ruin with a bow tied tight [Verse 2] Pink rain boots marching down the avenue Every painted storefront turns a darker hue I stack the cars like building blocks in rows Then plant a cherry flag where the river goes My cheeks are rosy, my manners are neat I say “excuse me” as I sweep the street The rooftops vanish under silver foam I’m just coming over, make yourself at home [Pre-Chorus] Count one, count two, hear the power break Wave your little hands for the charming quake [Chorus] Here comes the thunderstorm, darling, run! Cotton-candy lightning, blocking out the sun Roll, roll, roll till the tall walls fall I’m a tiny little terror taking everything all Smile for the weather, wave goodbye Candy-colored clouds swallowing the sky Roll, roll, roll, no place to hide I bring the sweetest ruin with a bow tied tight [Spoken Bridge] Listen closely. I’m not angry. I’m not cruel. I’m only the weather you invited in. You built your little world from paper and called it permanent. Now watch how gently it disappears. [Breakdown] Rain down, rain down, sugar-coated crown Stamp, stamp, stamp till the whole thing’s underground Rain down, rain down, don’t make a sound The storm wears a smile when it rolls you down [Final Chorus] Here comes the thunderstorm, darling, run! Cotton-candy lightning, blocking out the sun Roll, roll, roll till the tall walls fall I’m a tiny little terror taking everything all Smile for the weather, wave goodbye Candy-colored clouds swallowing the sky Roll, roll, roll, no place to hide I bring the sweetest ruin with a bow tied tight [Outro] Tiny boots stop at the edge of town Bright little smile as the rain comes down Wave goodnight, my dear, sleep sound Tomorrow I’ll roll another world around
