	Story Behind the Song I was stuck in my apartment for several days without electricity and I began to wonder: What if you were stuck under these annoying conditions with someone you only used to love? Lyrics The finger of the gods moved through our town today Picked up the trees and it yanked them all away Knocked down the fences and it scared us half to death The day the tornado came An hour ago, you ran out of cigarettes Now you're drumming your fingers on the table And me I tense my shoulders for the fight Over you getting another pack There is so little left to say But we keep on trying to say it Trying to find yet another way To beat this big, dead horse I try to avoid the obvious metaphor Electricity that's lost its spark No hot water, no washing machine Only candles to light this darkness Now I am spinning my ring on the tabletop And you say you wish I would stop it As you pour yourself another beer You've already had too many What is the sound of a screen door slamming What is the smell of love when it goes What is the feeling when someone's choking What is the point of one dead rose This was the one that would last forever This was the love that would end it all Now all I do is dream of funerals And I cannot bear this pall The finger of the gods moved through our town today Picked up our lives and it blew them both away Knocked down defenses and it scared us half to death The day the tornado came.
