Lyrics

[00:24.58] Thunder on the mountain, and there's fires on the moon
[00:27.57] A ruckus in the alley and the sun will be here soon
[00:30.62] Today's the day, gonna grab my trombone and blow
[00:33.48] Well, there's hot stuff here and it's everywhere I go
[00:39.08] I was thinkin' 'bout Alicia Keys, couldn't keep from crying
[00:45.43] When she was born in Hell's Kitchen, I was living down the line
[00:49.20] I'm wondering where in the world Alicia Keys could be
[00:55.22] I been looking for her even clear through Tennessee
[01:01.60] Feel like my soul is beginning to expand
[01:04.61] Look into my heart and you will sort of understand
[01:07.12] You brought me here, now you're trying to run me away
[01:13.82] The writing on the wall, come read it, come see what it say
[01:38.85] Thunder on the mountain, rollin' like a drum
[01:41.86] Gonna sleep over there, that's where the music coming from
[01:44.25] I don't need any guide, I already know the way
[01:50.98] Remember this, I'm your servant both night and day
[01:57.29] The pistols are poppin' and the power is down
[01:59.96] I'd like to try somethin' but I'm so far from town
[02:03.46] The sun keeps shinin' and the North Wind keeps picking up speed
[02:06.61] Gonna forget about myself for a while, gonna go out and see what others need
[02:12.61] I've been sittin' down studyin' the art of love
[02:18.68] I think it will fit me like a glove
[02:21.87] I want some real good woman to do just what I say
[02:28.38] Everybody got to wonder what's the matter with this cruel world today
[02:31.05] Thunder on the mountain rolling to the ground
[02:56.23] Gonna get up in the morning walk the hard road down
[02:59.64] Some sweet day I'll stand beside my king
[03:05.49] I wouldn't betray your love or any other thing
[03:11.55] Gonna raise me an army, some tough sons of bitches
[03:15.04] I'll recruit my army from the orphanages
[03:17.94] I been to St. Herman's church, said my religious vows
[03:24.83] I've sucked the milk out of a thousand cows
[03:31.27] I got the porkchops, she got the pie
[03:33.55] She ain't no angel and neither am I
[03:36.67] Shame on your greed, shame on your wicked schemes
[03:43.38] I'll say this, I don't give a damn about your dreams
[04:08.45] Thunder on the mountain heavy as can be
[04:11.38] Mean old twister bearing down on me
[04:14.55] All the ladies in Washington scrambling to get out of town
[04:20.33] Looks like something bad gonna happen, better roll your airplane down
[04:27.04] Everybody going and I want to go to
[04:30.00] Don't wanna take a chance with somebody new
[04:33.20] I did all I could, I did it right there and then
[04:39.20] I've already confessed - no need to confess again
[04:45.64] Gonna make a lot of money, gonna go up north
[04:47.82] I'll plant and I'll harvest what the earth brings forth
[04:51.23] The hammer's on the table, the pitchfork's on the shelf
[04:57.99] For the love of God, you ought to take pity on yourself
