Lyrics December Rains - John Cale

December Rains

Soft porn rioting is now online
There’s gonna be hell to pay
Somewhere south of meridian 5
We’re gonna start again
December, December, December rains
December, December, December rains
Condition Red the planet says
We’re up to our knees in grief
If you come 'round to Samarkand
You can talk us down
Talk us down
I’m trying to keep the noise down
With your knife in my gut
I suppose we’ve got things to say
We better keep it shut
With Google getting on your nerves
And politics left and right
Kiss your private life goodbye
Lights out say goodnight
Whenever I get to feeling good
You’re always on my mind
You can satisfy your thirst for life
Some December rain would be
Enough for us tonight
Condition Red the planet says
We’re up to our knees in grief
If you come 'round to Samarkand
You can talk us down
Talk us down
December, December, December rains
December, December, December rains
December, December, December rains
December, December, December rains
December, December, December rains
December, December, December rains
