Hey, look at me 
I'm causing a catastrophe 
But I, I just might see you and me 
The headlights bright as the daydream 

Hey, look at me 
I'm causing a catastrophe 
But I, I just might see you and me 
The excess your own celebration now 

Tiny records spin holding in 
The air that you breathe 
Tearing right through the seams you sew 
It's getting right back to you..................(Distortion comes in and Cory joins Rex)

So let it rain, rain on 
I'm causing a catastrophe 

So let it rain, rain on 
I'm causing a catastrophe 

I got a direct line 
A direct line 
To the telepathic now 

I got a direct line 
A direct line 
To the telepathic now 

So let it rain, rain on 
I'm causing a catastrophe 

So let it rain, rain on 
I'm causing a catastrophe 

I got a direct line 
A direct line 
To the telepathic now 

I got a direct line 
A direct line 
To the telepathic now 

Solo (Cory using delay, tremelo, phaser effects - over same chord progression)

*Drums come in and distortion kicks back in

So let it rain, rain on 
I'm causing a catastrophe 

So let it rain, rain on 
I'm causing a catastrophe 

I got a direct line 
A direct line 
To the telepathic now 

I got a direct line 
A direct line 
To the telepathic now 

*Throughout song on cd, keyboard is used to create an effect.  Live, cory solos over
 the end of the song
