Talk about the Weather

Citizen Fish

Wind blows strongly in it's rush to arrive 
In your face for as long as you like or hate it 
We place ourselves either for or against 
And then later on we replicate it 
Back in the box with the gas masks off 
We stare at the blocks through the double glazing 
Wishing the air was cleaner, aware 
Of a forecast declaring us crazy - crazy 
Mindset in concrete headset on loud 
To cover the noise and avoiding the crowds 
Lungs on the run and breathing too fast 
No time to talk the air doesn't last 
So back to the edge where the wind hits you hard 
This is the reason you get out of the car 
But then you feel lost and go back to sitting 
Inside the car and then back to the city 
When the air is polluted - luted, the sun is reputed - puted 
To give us all cancer, the rain starts to sting 
We get immune to it, hoping/assuming it 
Will somehow get better... You better stay in 
You better stay in, you better stay in 
Now we talk about the weather a whole lot more 
Running out of conversation and running back indoors 
We position our excursions and forget how to explore 
Until the wind blows strong enough to make us want some more
