Tornado

"Tornado" is a song by LorD and Master written about platonic love and is, as far as is known, the only song in existence to mention the Fujita scale for measuring tornadoes. The tornado in the song is a metaphor for someone who comes into your life and changes it immeasurably.

Lyrics

Tornado, tearing at the ground
Tornado, hurling me around
You got me in a spin
It's us two for the win
Tornado, oh oh, tornado

You can change direction
You can make your move
There's no early warning system
There's nothing left to prove
You're a force of nature
Strong will and mind
I only try to keep up, baby
Don't wanna be left behind

You can be a zephyr
You can be a breeze
But when you're a tornado, baby
The world's down on its knees
You leave your mark wherever you are
You are so alive
You've got your own Fujita scale and
You measure as five

Torna- tear- na- hurling me arou- 
You got, got in a spi- 
It's us two for the win
Torna-, oh oh torna- oh
