Raining

 

Tell me your dreams, in the morning

Tell me about your past life

Sorcery, alchemy

You will be the death of me

What’s going on in my mind

 

Can’t send a postcard from this town

Can’t see the sun in the sky

Get me a bottle

There is no tomorrow

Every day is a new life

 

There’s no sun in the sky

We all feel fine

And it’s raining outside

And we dance and we sing

What tomorrow might bring

And it’s raining outside

Raining outside

 

They don’t notice the rain outside

Spinning around in that box

Get me a ticket to get out of here

I only passing time

 

Religion was never a virtue

Sinners redemption a farce

Life still goes on

Yes when your gone

The end of the world is benign

Half way dead

 

Looks like a star, can we applaud him?

Or just like a drunk, out on the alley

What can we do tell, him we love him

Tell the same story you, told him before

 

Chorus

 

And his eyes are red

And his hands all rotten and withered

And he’s half way dead

But he still puts on a show

 

For you the songs that he sings,

The dreams that he has

His arms open wide

 

For you he’d give you his life

A solitary soldier without a fight

 

For you

His songs for you

 

 

Life is so cruel, if you’re rich and lonely

Drinking cheap wine, from a brown paper bag

Is it a spotlight, or could be a headlight

But you keep on playing

The show must go on

 

The plays that he acts in, the songs that he’s singing

Is this the story life must go on

And we all need attention,

The poets the actors

Another star fading alone in the sky
