The Lyrics — Thunder on the Mountain.

Thunder on the mountain and fires on the moon.
There's a ruckus in the alley and the sun will be here soon.
Today's the day, gonna grab my trombone and blow.
Well, there's hot stuff here and it's everywhere I go.

I was thinkin' 'bout Alicia Keyes, couldn't keep from crying.
When she was born in Hell's Kitchen, I was living down the line.
I'm wondering where in the world Alicia Keyes could be.
I been looking for her even clear through Tennessee.

Feel like my soul is beginning to expand.
Look into my heart and you will sort of understand.
You brought me here, now you're trying to run me away.
The writing's on the wall, come read it, come see what it say.

[Intrumentals - Bridge]

Thunder on the mountain, rolling like a drum.
Gonna sleep over there, that's where the music coming from.
I don't need any guide, I already know the way.
Remember this, I'm your servant both night and day.

The pistols are poppin' and the power is down.
I'd like to try somethin' but I'm so far from town.
The sun keeps shinin' and the North Wind keeps picking up speed.
Gonna forget about myself for a while, gonna go out and see what others need.

I've been sitting down studying the art of love.
I think it will fit me like a glove.
I want some real good woman to do just what I say.
Everybody got to wonder what's the matter with this cruel world today.

[Intrumentals - Bridge]

Thunder on the mountain rolling to the ground.
Gonna get up in the morning walk the hard road down.
Some sweet day I'll stand beside my king.
I wouldn't betray your love or any other thing.

Gonna raise me an army, some tough sons of bitches.
I'll recruit my army from the orphanages.
I been to St. Herman's church and I've said my religious vows.
I've sucked the milk out of a thousand cows.

I got the porkchops, she got the pie.
She ain't no angel and neither am I.
Shame on your greed, shame on your wicked schemes.
I'll say this, I don't give a damn about your dreams.

[Intrumentals - Bridge]

Thunder on the mountain heavy as can be.
Mean old twister bearing down on me.
All the ladies in Washington scrambling to get out of town.
Looks like something bad gonna happen, better roll your airplane down.

Everybody's going and I want to go too.
Don't wanna take a chance with somebody new.
I did all I could and I did it right there and then.
I've already confessed – no need to confess again.

Gonna make a lot of money, gonna go up north.
I'll plant and I'll harvest what the earth brings forth.
The hammer's on the table, the pitchfork's on the shelf.
For the love of God, you ought to take pity on yourself.

Notes about Long Description Elements for Accessibility.

Long description links should be available for any graphic image within the Web content that conveys information. The long description for the particular image or graphic element contains a full narrative of the information that is visually available within the image. It is not necessary to provide any complex design elements within the long description. In fact, it is disadvantageous to do so since these types of content pages are meant to be interpreted by assistive technology user agents.

While the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 refer to graphics for the use of Long Descriptions, audio files for hearing impairments should also include a Long Description.

This current page is an example of that use. Lyrics for the music are provided. In addition, a link to the audio file that will play within Windows Media Player is included.

Windows Media Player incorporates ‘visualization’ themes. The visual themes flash colored graphics that change with the tempo, amplitude and frequency of the music that is being played. Such visualizations aide considerably in the interpretation of the music for those with hearing impairments. Combined with vibrations from the audio that are produced during playback, people with hearing impairments can and do interpret and feel music.

For those Web visitors who have configured their own preferred audio playback application, a standard link to the audio should also be provided.
