Tropical Depression from Passages by The Rivergods

TROPICAL DEPRESSION

Life is good on my island
Except for when the weather gets bad
This tropical depression
Is the worst I’ve ever had

Won’t you come out to my island?
Bring me a lifeboat today
When you see how bad it’s gotten
You might not want to stay

Tropical depression
An endless lifeless lesson
You know school is still in session
I can’t make the grade

Over there on the mainland
They’re playing games all day
Smiling and posting pictures
Always got something to say

Me I ain't figured it out now
Still trying to get unstuck
Move myself off this rainy rock
Back out into the sun

Tropical depression
An endless lifeless lesson
You know school is still in session
I can’t make the grade

Life is good on my island
Except when the weather gets bad
I stumble over the little things
And am left here holding the bag

Whispering empty curses
Getting in my own way
Shouting out to the passers-by
Wont' you come out and play?

Tropical depression
An endless lifeless lesson
You know school is still in session
I never get the messages
Tropical depression
An endless lifeless lesson
You know school is still in session
I can’t make the grade
