Tornado Man

lyrics

i’m a mess
and maybe there’s a lesson
in that simple little fact
she’s a cleaner
you’d know it if you’d seen her in the act

so it’s really no surprise
there’s no wool to be pulled
over her eyes

is it my fault?

i’m confused
and maybe that confusion
is a messy thing to see
i’m trying hard
i’m trying to remember
how much worse i used to be

is it my fault?
(i don’t think so)
is it my fault?
(i think so)
is it my fault?
(i don’t think so)
but i don’t know

i go to my room
i make my own mess
i’m all twisted up
i’m spun out
i’m a tornado man

coming clean and staying clean
is really just a matter of degree
i’m picking up, i’m rearranging
if it matters you can stop me
i’m trying to lay low
i need a halo

i go to my room
and make my own mess
i’m all twisted up
i’m spun out
i’m a tornado man
tornado man (etc.)
