[Verse 1]
There was a [G]high
pressure low developing off the coast of Africa,
[C]Uplift in the atmosphere pushed waves
Across the ocean towards
An[G]tilles and Bon Air.
I paced in Agit[D]ation.[C][D][C]
I [G]drew the curtains closed.
I turned the air conditioner on.
I pressed a [C]warm wash cloth
to my face.
[G]Somewhere out there a hurricane was
[D]coming.
[C][D]

[Verse 2]
[Em][D]
There's [C]just no future left
for us to [G]dream [D]of,
Living in an [C]era of instabil[G]ity.
[D]So caught up in [C]the culture of their rivals,
Fear [G]breeds in honest [D]men.

[Interlude 1]
It's a high pressure low.

[Verse 3]
[G]7 missiles flying over the sea of japan.
[C]Tales of feral children
sleeping in wolf dens.
And the [G]pi ous preacher commands.
I hold my breath in anticip[D]ation.[C][D][C]
In[G]to the shelter of the jungle
noble savages run.
[C]Vestal virgins triumph over
life long inhibitions.
And I [G]wonder, what is real? What
is fic[D]tion?
[C][D]

[D]There's jus[C]t no future left

Fear [G]breeds in honest [D]men.

[Verse 5]
Would [Bb]anyone forgive Robert McNamara?
In [Eb]ret rospect he had to admit;
There was mis[Bb]take in going to war without
first asking all the [F]ques[Eb]tions.[F]
[Eb]Yes, Rober[Bb]t Strange McNamara,
There are [Eb]those who just cannot forget.
And I [Bb]wonder, have I lost my own
compassion?
