hard rain coming down on me - mike garligton lyrics

Loading...

[spoken intro]
all right now, come on kids. hey, listen, i’m tired of this bullsh-t playing around the town, you know what i mean? …
and i told him, i said, ‘listen!’ i said, ‘don’t f-ck with me, man!
because you know what i mean? like, i’m a real motherf-cking cowboy, you know what i mean? hahah!
[end intro]

one, two, three, four

hard rain coming down on me
trying to start a fire on the muddy banks
of the mississippi, in the rain
baby life is strange

now he reaches for a quarter
and he stands in the corner
and he screams out for some change
and n0body looks, but everybody sees
and everybody feels the shame
and the rain rolls over
and the dog rolls over
and he rolls his hands to the sky
and the nuns in numbers knock their nails in
like a blackbird in a blackberry pie

says, ‘son, it happens every day
we call it running from the rain.’

well, it’s a rain of thunder
it’s a rain of fear
it’s a busted-open bottle of rainier beer
it reaches from the sky
like a blackbird in a blackberry pie, that’s why
and everybody is runnin’
and umbrellas are poppin’
and reflections take over the streets
and the blood is free now
and it flows to the sea now
and the man says, ‘i’ll see him again.’

said, ‘son, it happens every day
we call it running from the rain.’

well, she turned her back
as he sp-ckles the crack
and the pain just peels away
and she thought she knew him
but an autumn leaf blew in
and it blew what she knew of him away
and she’s countin’ numbers
but she lost the light
so now she thaws out cubed steak
with a red flashlight
heads turning like a doorkn-b
eyes burning like a camp log
what do you think of that?

said, ‘son, it happens every day
we call it running from the rain.’

she’s gone for good
you should know by now
she ain’t coming back anyhow
and a love to her
is a love that’s thrown away…
and it’s over
