Scattershot

[Verse 1]
Dark cloud like a gun
Do you stay? Do you run?
Barrel pointed at the heart of the plains
Green bird on the wire
Smoke before the fire
Dry leaves coil in a rattling chain
Yellow edges the light
Dust curls wind sighs
Like the moan of a faraway train

[Chorus 1]
The rain came scattershot
Taking aim with every drop
Doesn't care where it's been or where it's bound
It's coming scattershot, it wants another round

[Verse 2]
Hard rain on the road
Do we stay? Do we go?
Static hisses on an old TV
We packed up the car
Didn't get far
River rising like you wouldn't believe

[Chorus 2]
It comes down scattershot
Taking aim with every drop
Doesn't care where you've been or where you're bound
You're running scattershot, it wants another round

[Bridge]
First, it's filling up the wells
And it's rolling through the streets of this town
Over the steps of the motel
Lightning tore the sky from the clouds
It's rising to the rafters
Climbing up the steeple
Ringing all the bells
Ringing all the bells
Ringing all the bells
Ringing all the bells
Ringing all the bells

[Instrumental]
