Cannons Lyrics - Siouxsie And The Banshees

Cannons
Troubled weather's on its wa
Tempests threaten us toda
There's no respite, from long dark night
Just the fantasy of sprin
From the hailstones of summe
To a scorching winter lan
A frozen death sleep, then this hea
Beats down on this buckled lan
Flames lick closer to the cor
From city limits firebal
And in a headless chicken ru
Race red and screaming fire engine
Then the cannons cam
Oh 'neath the brooding sk
Beneath its baleful ey
The cannon shot, the cannon crac
Disturbing night dream
People fled in drove
To the lakes and to the shore
Left behind a near ghost tow
Save the life of the cannons resoundin
Still there was no rai
Once more in the line of fir
Hovers the preying sk
The cannons aim jabs at the ey
Heralding the rain...
