Welcome to the tornado.
We're all friends here.
But watch your back, and try not to blink
Or things you knew were forever will be gone.
That fast.

Welcome to the tornado.
There's no turning back.
In for a dime, in for a dozen,
And I see, my dear friend,
That you've paid well in advance.

Welcome to the tornado.
There's a degree of uncertainty here.
And everything that is eternal
Will die, to your surprise.
And anger, and regret.

Welcome to the tornado.
Look at how high you are already.
Amazing, isn't it?
Before you knew, you were so far up.
But don't worry, you won't feel the fall.

Welcome to the tornado.
Expect nothing here.
The winds that make our twisted dances
Are all it takes to turn everything over.
And nothing will be as it was.

Welcome to the tornado.
Clear your head, there's no time for thought.
The top is right up there,
And the bottom...
Well the bottom is pretty hard.

Welcome to the tornado.
As you can see everything's changed.
We missed you, friend,
But now you're back and we can start the party.
Or resume it, in any case.

Welcome to the tornado.
It's a wonderful view, anyway.
You don't really notice the changes
That happen to a world
Until you can see them all at once.

Welcome to the tornado.
You're one of us again.
We welcome you back with open arms,
Forget them down there, they don't want you.
They like all that's happened to them.

Welcome to the tornado.
It's an exhilirating rush.
Spinning and turning,
Whirling and flying.
And it's never going to end.

Welcome to the tornado.
Aren't you glad you came?
I'll tell you what...
We sure are. And they're glad to get rid of you.
So it looks like everyone's happy, right?

Welcome to the tornado.
Let go of what you had.
That way, you'll have empty hands
So you can catch some wreckage
And throw it at whatever you want.

Welcome to the tornado.
I know it seems rough at first,
But listen to the roaring winds
And close your eyes.
Trust me, it'll put you to sleep.

Welcome to the tornado.
You won't miss a thing.
When you're flying at reckless speeds
It's surprising how new everything looks.
And you'll never want to touch the ground again.

Welcome to the tornado.
Smile. You're home now.
We all love you, we care.
But look down there, those people running?
They don't.

Welcome to the tornado.
Grab a seat and relax.
You'll be left alone,
Nobody will come bother you. Not here.
Not her.

Welcome to the tornado.
It seems you fit in well.
Better than among the groundbound,
Always in a hurry to be somewhere,
Somewhere that isn't near the tornado.

Welcome to the tornado.
Fear has no place here.
We all know the truth
So none of us hurt.
It's really quite an improvement.

Welcome to the tornado.
Your new home.
What? You still want that one thing, eh?
Well, it won't ever be here to stay
But sometimes visits are allowed.

Welcome to the tornado.
Stay
A
While
Friend.
