Fair To Midland - Short-Haired Tornado Lyrics






If you croak I hope ya know I'm gonna toss you in the trash
You can't really blame us, we're only doin' what you asked
If you have yourself a son, I'm gonna tell your baby boy
That father time's chock full of lies
So don't jump in just yet

Doubting thomas deserves much more than we can give
If we win the lottery, let's buy an island just for him
So when that hurricane tries beatin' down the door
We can make him bat its eyes until it can't see what's a-...

Until we can't see what's ahead

You can sew me in stitches
And curse at the cautious
While it lasts
'Cause soon we'll all forget

If we croak I hope ya know it's gonna be in single files
Hunting for models that were never worth the while
Each one of us caught head for throwing jack frost in july
And staring at the sun till our eyes were done
And we could not see what's a-...

Until we can't see what's ahead
You can sew me in stitches
And curse at the cautious
While it lasts
'Cause soon we'll all forget

Fair To Midland Short-Haired Tornado Comments
  1. Q.... I....

    Brilliant. Every track.

  2. p.... ....

    I just keep coming back to this song. I love the entire song, but the ending... Such strong feels.

  3. T.... M....

    The person after me will be like number 420...just in case anyone was wondering

  4. D.... ....

    It's hard to make songs that rock out THIS hard, but still sound so beautiful and emotional. Darroh was truly on another league. The whole band was.

    D.... ....

    Wish the lyrics were supposed to mean something instead of being random words put together to sound cool.

    D.... ....

    Disasrous i totally agree,MaDrung you can't say this..they never straightly mention love or stuff like that,each song has a meaning,this one is about death

    D.... ....

    Well as far as I've read the lyrics it's jibberish. It is supposed to be vague so that everyone can find their own meaning, but the prooblem is that the lyrics theme changes too much so it's like 40 songs in one song which then together makes no sense.

    D.... ....

    no it isn't.The lead singer is just as weird as his lyrics

    D.... ....

    a good example is upgrade^brigade,it clearly talks about tecnology,the thing that change is the meaning of each line

  5. t.... ....

    favourite song of my year.

  6. S.... C....

    heard they were in debt and that's why they quit. they should do a kick starter or whatever.

    S.... C....

    they broke up as a group,not only as a band.The frontman had a daughter and has quite shy attitude,2 other members started a new band and left forever..ftm can comeback but it's a 0.1% possibility

    S.... C....

    bamf, do you happen to know what this other band is called?

    S.... C....

    @Daniel Mulholland erstwhile

  7. L.... B....

    Until we can't see what's AHEADDDDDD!

    RIP FTM, we miss you. \m/

  8. I.... ....

    I love this song. One of their best for sure.

  9. L.... ....

    You are doing it wrong.

  10. b.... ....

    typhoid mary sends her best goes well combined with this

  11. r.... ....

    1:01 just gives me so many feels. I don't know why, but that little break is so emotional. God damn I love this band.

  12. L.... M....

    me corro con esta canción

  13. J.... W....

    I love how none of there songs sound the same

  14. s.... ....

    This song is what feeling in love is like

  15. W.... ....

  22. s.... ....

    :S nooo they need to come back here!!! :p

  23. 1.... ....

    This music fucking *soars*. It makes you feel like you can fly. It's incredible. If you hear this and you can't feel the majesty and power in it, you don't have a pulse.

  24. T.... ....

    WOO!! They're comming to Australia in May!!

  25. S.... R....

    They refuse to sell out to the man !!!!! Music their way or no way, that is what I LOVE !!!! Partied with them on several occasions in Dallas and in my home town !!!!!!
