dirty rain
Last time I was here it was raining It ain’t raining anymore Streets were drowning and the water’s laming All the ruins washed ashore Now I am here just looking through the rubble Try to find out who we were Last time I was here it was raining It ain’t raining anymore Last time I was here you were waiting You’re not waiting anymore The window’s broke and the smoke’s escaping The books scattered across the floor And the churchbells are ringing through the sirens Your coat was full of bulletholes Last time I was here you were waiting You’re not waiting anymore So may the wind blow May the moonlight know your name So let the needle pull the record ‘round To the walls came in You and I we’re out there dancing In the dirty rain Last time I was here it was raining Like you have never seen it rain And your eyes were filled with terror And tears from the gasoline As the stars exloding with gunfire I saw you smiling just before Last time I was here you were crying You ain’t crying anymore So let the moon now May the moonlight know your name So let the needle pull the record ‘round To the walls came in You and I we’re out there dancing In the dirty rain The dirty rain
