Cast an eye up upon the heavens

There's a new attitude in the air

The elements have realized the obvious

They may be [solid then] they're coming aware

The sun and storm can't believe what they're seeing

To some [the natural] had made up their mind

They're still recovering from this rude reaction

And satisfaction is what they have defined



[chorus]

Strap us in the chair

Because the weather's throwing a rager

They're looking down, each expecting to win

The sun and storm have just come to wager



The storm said to the sun "i've got a better idea"

A different bet with a more challenging role

Those people down there are just so damn intriguing

Let's pick out one and fight it out for his soul

The sun said "great, i'll take them for ...

The storm said "i guess i'll take his deepest desire

Whoever wins shall be the lord over heaven

Best to the winner and the loser retires."



[chorus]



The bet was on and the opponents willing

With no holds barred, the rules were brutally clear

Now all they needed was a deserving victim

One whose direction each could alter and steer

Sure enough they happened on a wandering minstrel

No home to speak of and an ambitious mind

With about ... each would ...

To suit the purpose he was a perfect find
