Lyrics
Harold walks down
Harold is walking down any street in the town.
Any street of this town
He is observed by both those who cry and those who witness.
Both crier and witness
The sun is setting, and clouds are shifting.
The sun drops
Harold's legs are twitching.
Clouds shift
Clocks are chiming on cafes, pharmacies, and dime stores.
His legs twitch
In bar rooms, Harold sits alone.
The clocks chime
There is an eruption or disturbance.
On cafes, pharmacies, and dime stores
In Harold's head, his thoughts resemble the unpredictable nature of weather.
In bar rooms he sits all alone
This weather-like state in Harold's head is repeated three times for emphasis.
Erupting
A moment of exclamation or intensity, represented by "Oh, oh, oh."
In his head it's like the weather
Harold's mental state is likened to the unpredictability of weather.
In his head it's like the weather
Reiteration of the comparison between Harold's head and the weather.
In his head it's like the weather
Continued emphasis on the weather-like nature of Harold's thoughts.
Oh, oh, oh
Expression of intensity or emotional response.
Back and forth it's like the weather
Describing a back-and-forth pattern in Harold's mental state like the weather.
Back and forth it's like the weather
Repetition of the idea of a back-and-forth pattern in Harold's mind.
Back and forth it's like the weather
Continued emphasis on the fluctuating nature of Harold's thoughts.
When it rains it pours down
Metaphorically comparing a difficult time ("it pours down") to rainy weather.
Weatherman, do you feel?

Is it stormy inside of your veins?
