[Intro] [Long Intro] [Intro, Spoken] “Toto… how come Kansas looks like it’s in black and white?” [Verse 1] Woke up with Toto in the mornin’, house slid down the road Auntie Em’s still cookin’, where’s Uncle Henry? Don’t know Neighbor’s scarecrow just slapped me in the face Mailbox flew by yellin’, “We’re headed for space!” Oh my goodness, we’ve become airborne Chicken in the henhouse tryin’ to weather the storm Miss Gulch flew by on a bicycle ride— So I’m holdin’ onto my bed for my life! [Pre-Chorus] Window’s full of faces I don’t recognize Cow just drifted past like it’s learnin’ to fly I said, “Toto, this feels medically wrong…” He barked, “Lady, just hang on!” [Chorus] I I’m passin’ through the eye of the storm Please tell me this ain’t the norm House doin’ tricks like it just transformed— I’m ridin’ high in the eye of the storm Yeah, in the eye where it all goes still Like the world just paused for a cheap thrill It’s like watchin’ chaos perform— Yeah, I’m passin’ through the eye of the storm [Verse 2] Rockin’ chair floatin’ like it owns the sky Old Miss Gulch just winked as she drifted by Got a window frame doin’ figure eights And a wash tub racin’ a set of plates There’s a man in a boat rowin’ through the breeze And a barn door flappin’ like it’s beggin’ “please!” I said, “This ain’t weather, this is personal now!” Then a mule flew past and took a bow [Pre-Chorus] Lightning flashin’ like a camera crew Thunder yellin’, “We’re not done with you!” Toto barked like, “This ain’t my scene!” I said, “You and me both, buddy—hang on to me!” [Chorus] I’m passin’ through the eye of the storm Please tell me this ain’t the norm House doin’ tricks like it just transformed— I’m ridin’ high in the eye of the storm Yeah, in the eye where it all goes still Like the world just paused for a cheap thrill It’s like watchin’ chaos perform— Yeah, I’m passin’ through the eye of the storm [Bridge] Wind said, “Dorothy, where you wanna go?” I said, “Someplace quiet… like over the rainbow!” It laughed real loud, said, “That ain’t my style— We’re takin’ the scenic route for a while!” Lost my porch, my fence, my sense of direction Gained a whole lotta airborne introspection If I make it down, I’m kissin’ the ground— Assumin’ the ground is still around! [Long Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream come true Someday I’ll wish on a star, drift away Wake up where the clouds all fade away Where troubles melt like lemon drops Floatin’ high above the chimney tops Yeah, that’s the place they said I’d find— BOOM! —hit the ground and lost my mind [Pre-Chorus] Everything’s quiet… that don’t feel right Storm just vanished out of sight I said, “Maybe we made it?”—then I grinned— That’s when a Munchkin said, “Think again!” [Chorus] I’m passin’ through the eye of the storm Please tell me this ain’t the norm House doin’ tricks like it just transformed— I’m ridin’ high in the eye of the storm Yeah, in the eye where it all goes still Like the world just paused for a cheap thrill It’s like watchin’ chaos perform— Yeah, I’m passin’ through the eye of the storm [Outro – spoken] “Toto… I’ve got a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.” [Outro] [End Song] [End]
