This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
The air was getting heavy
I knew that it was coming
So I started up the Chevy
And kept the motor running
A storm came down upon us
And flooded all the rivers
Surrounded by piranhas
And the doctors who deliver
Anything that you require
Now the fields are all on fire
Calling down the wire
La de da de da de da
Batten down the hatches Becky
Open up the earth and sky
Waiting on a natural disaster
Sitting out on my back porch
Watching storm clouds moving faster
Like a natural disaster
Hurricane between us
I saw it on the TV
I went down to Phoenix
To make my last CD
And nobody got paid
Just like the good old days
You can waste your life away
La de da de da de da
Batten down the hatches Becky
Open up the earth and sky
Waiting on a natural disaster
Sitting out on my front porch
Watching storm clouds moving faster
Like a natural disaster
I left Nova Scotia
And headed down the coast
Tore a strip off Memphis
Before I levelled Roanoke
I punished Pecos County
And headed for Las Cruces
Anyone around me
Will be covered in my bruises
You want something to remember me by
You can write my name in the sky
Sing La de da
La de da de da de da
Batten down the hatches Becky
Open up the earth and sky
Waiting on a natural disaster
Sitting out on our front porch
Watching storm clouds moving faster
I’m a natural disaster
I’m a natural disaster
I knew that it was coming
So I started up the Chevy
And kept the motor running
A storm came down upon us
And flooded all the rivers
Surrounded by piranhas
And the doctors who deliver
Anything that you require
Now the fields are all on fire
Calling down the wire
La de da de da de da
Batten down the hatches Becky
Open up the earth and sky
Waiting on a natural disaster
Sitting out on my back porch
Watching storm clouds moving faster
Like a natural disaster
Hurricane between us
I saw it on the TV
I went down to Phoenix
To make my last CD
And nobody got paid
Just like the good old days
You can waste your life away
La de da de da de da
Batten down the hatches Becky
Open up the earth and sky
Waiting on a natural disaster
Sitting out on my front porch
Watching storm clouds moving faster
Like a natural disaster
I left Nova Scotia
And headed down the coast
Tore a strip off Memphis
Before I levelled Roanoke
I punished Pecos County
And headed for Las Cruces
Anyone around me
Will be covered in my bruises
You want something to remember me by
You can write my name in the sky
Sing La de da
La de da de da de da
Batten down the hatches Becky
Open up the earth and sky
Waiting on a natural disaster
Sitting out on our front porch
Watching storm clouds moving faster
I’m a natural disaster
I’m a natural disaster

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Becky's his wife, Rebecca Kraatz.
Judging by the timing of this song, Joel wrote it after Hurricane Juan, a hurricane that hit Halifax, Nova Scotia in September 2003. The end of the song refers to his journey down south to record La De Da.
Ya, it's a pretty obvious song. I was hoping that the 1 other comment here wasn't going to say something way too deep into the lyrics. Thanks.
this song is called natural disaster, nautical disaster is a tragically hip song
hurricane juan was amazing, i enjoy this song its makes me think of the week afterwards with no power and no school. good times
Yeah, amazing. Great song, but Supersonic39, perhaps I should remind you that the storm killed 8 and caused $200 million in damages..
Well the Juan interpretation would make sense because I think Joel's place in Dartmouth was affected (a tree to the roof maybe?).
But if I remember correctly he said that he wrote the song on the way up to record the album in the South so in would make sense if he was going through the parts of the south suceptible to tornados.
Yeah, but who's Becky?
