"Laredo Tornado" is coming !!!
Summer days, where did you go?
You've let me down so bad
Clouds fill the sky
Gone is the dream
My happy hunting ground
Wild buffalo played and I never saw a rainy day
But it looks like summer days ain't coming back
March, April, May, June and July
You took me for a fail
Big chief, he lie
Cold wind blows cruel, so cold to make you die
Mountain breeze, ocean bay and I never saw a rainy day
But it looks like them summer days ain't coming back
Laredo Tornado
Adios, amigos
What can you do when your dreamworld is gone
And your friends and lovers too?
No, no, no, no, no, no
West Winter Street under the ground
The air that makes you choke
Towers of concrete, hellish go-round
Were there when I awoke
City sky pouring down with rain
That can never hope to ease the pain
And it looks like summer days ain't coming back

“Laredo Tornado” follows on from “Boy Blue” (on the album Eldorado), transporting the dreamer to a new setting, becoming most likely an American Indian immediately after European invasion.
The song laments the good times that are gone (symbolized by the summer/warming imagery), and compares them unfavourably to the new order (represented by cold/winter imagery). He also laments the loss of his “friends and lovers”, and the lies that “Big Chief” told him.
The title “Laredo Tornado” is a reference to where he is (Laredo), the speed and suddenness of the change and perhaps a reference to the tornado in the Wizard of Oz, where Dorothy was uprooted from her happy life and tossed into a new world she doesn’t fully understand. This is supported by the album cover, a pair of sparkly red shoes like the ones Dorothy wore to get home.
However, the dreamer seems to understand that there is no going back.
