Lyrics

(Verse 1)
The weathervane is spinning like a needle in a fit
I'm staring at the window, just a shadow where I sit
The barometer is bottomed out, the sky is bruised and black
I've got a pressure in my sinuses, a tremor in my back
The humidity is wrapping round my throat like woolen thread
And there's a low-frequency static hum echoing in my head.


(Chorus)
Oh, this weather's kicking my ass
Watching the barometer fall through the glass
It gets in my marrow, it gets in my skin
I don't know where the storm ends and I begin
Yeah, the sky is weighing a thousand tons
And I'm just waiting for the sunlight to run
Yeah, the wind is howling at my door again
And this weather's kicking my ass, my friend.


(Verse 2)
The coffee's going cold before I take a single sip
There's a salt-stain on the siding and a shiver on my lip
The meteorologist is smiling, pointing at the map
While I'm caught inside the gravity of this atmospheric trap
They say it's just a front, they say it's passing by
But it feels like the whole damn world is deciding it's time to die.


(Chorus)
And this weather's kicking my ass
Watching the barometer fall through the glass
It gets in my marrow, it gets in my skin
I don't know where the storm ends and I begin
Yeah, the sky is weighing a thousand tons
And I'm just waiting for the sunlight to run
Yeah, the wind is howling at my door again
And this weather's kicking my ass, my friend.


(Bridge)
My joints are creaking like the floorboards in the hall
I'm bracing for the pressure, I'm waiting for the fall
There's no use fighting the clouds or the turning of the tide
When the heavy gray is everything you've got inside.


(Guitar Solo - Melancholy, sliding, distorted)


(Outro)
Turn the heat up higher
Watch the shadows grow
Where the gale is gonna take us
I don't think I want to know.
Just keep on raining.
Yeah, kick it a little harder.
I'm already down here anyway.
Just a little more rain.
