It's a-Coming Lyrics


It's a-comingWild fires, dying leaves (?)
Landslides, hurricanes
Apocalypse in store like nothing ever seen beforeIt's a-comingThird generation refugees (?)
Take my burning effigies (?)
Revolution, civil war, like
Nothing ever seen beforeYeah, it's a-comingPale, lost and ----
Wasted by the morning sun
Tell the ---- he can see (?)
---- ---- ----It's a-coming...
It's gonna comeJungle slashed and jungle burned
Monkeys and the painted birds
---- ---- ----
---- ---- whole world grieveIt's a-comingAll the ones that fail to thrive (?)
Starved out and burned alive (?)
Something evil, something fiend (?)
CalamityIt's gonna come---- ---- the old Cold War
Atom Bomb's gonna settle the score
You wait and seeIt's a long time coming

But it's a-coming
It's gonna comeThird generation refugees (?)
Take my burning effigies (?)
Revolution, civil war, like
Like nothing ever seen before
Like nothing ever seen before

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Natalie Anne O'Shea Merchant (born October 26, 1963 in Jamestown, New York, U.S.) is a professional musician. She co-founded and fronted the band 10,000 Maniacs in 1981. Later, she went to college and then left the band in 1993 and started a successful solo career. Merchant plays the piano, produces and writes many of her songs.

Her debut solo album Tigerlily (1995) had three top-40 singles: 'Carnival', 'Jealousy' and 'Wonder'. This was followed in 1998 with her second solo album Ophelia, her third in 2001 with Motherland, and fourth in 2003 called 'The House Carpenter's Daughter'.

Merchant has sung alongside Tracy Chapman, Michael Stipe, David Byrne and Peter Gabriel. She has also collaborated with Billy Bragg a number of times, including the 1998 album Mermaid Avenue. Like Bragg, her work touches on social and political themes; she has been active in promoting a number of campaigning issues in both her songs and through the causes to which she lends her name.
