lyrics

MAD RAIN

there's a demon on my back
he's got a belly full of sunshine
sometimes we're losing track
in between the aching shadow
of the moonlight

there's a savior on my sleeve
he keeps a-tugging me in vain
it's not just that i don't believe
i can't see the other side
through the mad rain

taking my time, shoo it along
it pays to be plain
shaking the line is kinda fun
praise, for the rain
for the mad rain

there's a shiver in my soul
it comes and goes when i'm not thinking
sometimes i'm in a hole
and other times i don't know
where the link is

there's a hunger in the darkness
around the corners of the truth
a mighty thunder or a spark
will set us moving to the rhythm
of the foolproof

praying for naught, lookin' up
this light shatters the pain
caught up in knots
like a long night shade
praise, for the rain
for the mad rain

there's a siren in my bones
she sings the gospel of the new wave
in a muted dulcet tone
all the secrets of the rain
are washing away

there's a goddess in my mind's eye
she pulls the strings when i'm not looking
we waltz along the lie
and reinvent the fool
to look just like the crooked king

taking my time, shoo it along
it pays to be plain
shaking the line is kinda fun
praise, for the rain
praying for naught, lookin' up
this light shatters the pain
caught up in knots
like a long night shade
praise, for the rain
for the mad rain
