I Wish It Would Rain |
| Turning tricks on Sunset |
| Twenty bucks a pop |
| Some out of town ol' businessman or an undercover cop |
| I’m living with the virus flowing way down in my veins |
| Oh oh, I wish it would rain |
| I know you’ve heard my story |
| Or seen me on the street |
| Just another cracker gigolo |
| Dressed up like trick or treat |
| Now you may want to judge me |
| Or treat me with disdain |
| Oh oh, I wish it would rain |
| Memphis, Texas, Houston, Tennessee |
| Man I’m just so turned around |
| I don’t know where I want to be |
| This California desert is driving me insane |
| Oh, I wish it would rain |
| So I’ve squandered my resistance |
| Taking any kind of drug |
| Oh I’d smoke or shoot or eat it, I’d drink it from a jug |
| And I offer no excuses for your sympathies to gain |
| Oh oh, I wish it would rain |
| Everybody knows me as the kid |
| I’ve made it seven years and still I don’t know how I did |
| I come from a long line of live and love in vain |
| Oh, I wish it would rain |
| Well I’ve prayed to Mother Mary |
| I’ve even seen a priest |
| When the angels come to get me |
| I know I’ll be released |
| I’ll leave this mean ol' desert bound for Memphis on that train |
| Oh oh, I wish it would rain |
| Oh oh, I wish it would rain |
