Trouble On The Horizon - Jimmy Buffett[00:00:00]
This is a song that started a long time ago[00:00:15]
Back when there was just the water world[00:00:18]
There was this strange looking fish[00:00:21]
That moved along the hidden currents of the deep dark ocean[00:00:22]
He knew he was different because he could sense there was[00:00:27]
Something else in his nature[00:00:30]
He swam in circles for millions[00:00:33]
Of years and one day he decided it was time to go up[00:00:34]
He was soon in the world of light where he remained a long time[00:00:40]
Until his eyes allowed him to see color[00:00:45]
The world was no longer a dark place[00:00:49]
And he moved further up into the light[00:00:51]
And one day before he knew it he was no longer in the water world[00:00:53]
His head was above the surface and he felt his gills[00:00:58]
Turn into lungs and he said ah sh*t I'm an amphibian[00:01:01]
Then he slowly swam towards the shallow waters and[00:01:06]
Marshes of the shore and one day he felt the ground[00:01:09]
Beneath his feet there he gathered his wits[00:01:13]
Checked his balance and stood erect and that's when the[00:01:16]
Trouble began[00:01:23]
Well the birds disappeared and the sky began to turn purple[00:01:26]
From the skeleton coast to the land of violins[00:01:32]
Sailors prayed to the patron saint of lightening[00:01:39]
Please St. Barbara save our miserable skins[00:01:46]
They say that god takes care of drunks and fools and children[00:01:53]
That leaves the rest of us rummaging for alibis[00:02:00]
But friends there's trouble trouble on the horizon[00:02:06]
And it wears an inconspicuous disguise[00:02:13]
You never see it coming[00:02:21]
You never have a clue[00:02:24]
But there's trouble on the horizon[00:02:27]
Bubbling like a roux[00:02:31]
You have to taste the weather[00:02:35]
You've got to touch the storm[00:02:38]
There is trouble on the horizon[00:02:41]
Waiting to perform[00:02:45]
You gave us cigarettes guns and whiskey[00:02:49]
And watch what happens[00:02:52]
Then add a little nuclear fusion and some gasoline[00:02:57]
We got trouble trouble right here in river city[00:03:03]
Every day's becoming Halloween[00:03:10]
We never see it coming[00:03:18]
We never have a clue[00:03:21]
But there's trouble on the horizon[00:03:24]
Waiting for the barbecue[00:03:28]
You have to taste the weather[00:03:31]
You've got to touch the storm[00:03:34]
There is trouble on the horizon[00:03:37]
Waiting to perform[00:03:41]
I've seen a spaceship built by Howard Hughes[00:03:46]
I've been a witness to some strange taboos[00:03:49]
I've seen a storm from deep inside the eye[00:03:53]
Of hurricane don't lie[00:03:56]
Hurricanes don't lie[00:04:00]
In the hour of desperation[00:04:31]
You'll cry like a baby[00:04:33]
When it comes right down to merely molecules[00:04:38]
Hell you can pray to Jesus or a flock of pink flamingos[00:04:44]
But in the hour of desperation are the fools[00:04:51]
I hope that all the greedy bastards in the world[00:04:58]
Come back as lobsters[00:05:01]
You know that life at the bottom of the food chain[00:05:05]
Suits them well[00:05:08]
I think that all of the evil people of the world[00:05:12]
Come back as horseflies[00:05:14]
They want one last bite before they're sent to hell[00:05:18]
You better know it's coming[00:05:26]
You've got to have a clue[00:05:30]
There is trouble on the horizon[00:05:32]
Bubbling like a roux[00:05:36]
You have to taste the weather[00:05:40]
You've got to touch the storm[00:05:43]
To keep trouble on the horizon[00:05:46]
You got to stay informed[00:05:50]
Trouble out there ain't going no where[00:05:53]
Trouble on the horizon[00:05:57]
Trouble out there ain't going no where[00:06:00]
You got to trouble on the horizon[00:06:03]
Trouble out there[00:06:07]
Trouble out there[00:06:09]
I see bad moon arising[00:06:10]
