Lyrics
MOVING OUT
Words and music by Jeff Jolly
Copyright 1995
It’s a shame the way things are coming ‘round
Hard rain, I feel it coming down
Lighting strikes the sky
I feel it burning my heart tonight
Look around I can see hard changes
It’s getting to some point where the colors clash with the neighbors
Lighting strikes the sky
I feel it burning my heart tonight
Bridge
What the hell is going on in town
Everybody’s packing up, moving out
(Repeat bridge)
Look around, I can see hard changes
There’s an oil spill in the Kill Van Kull
See the dangers
Lighting strikes the sky
I feel it burning my heart tonight
