Lyrics And the Rain - Shriekback

And the Rain

Some spooky cowboy voodoo what did you do on the plain?
Marlboro man is decomposing got Jack Daniels on the brain
All the fatal hesitation in opening the files
Incidental caterwauling of the lord of the flies
Some neat holistic vision deft incisions sliced around
There’s a different city showing now the weather’s broken down
A little nuclear friction upending all the lies
Got sunburst and distortion on these unsceptred isles
When the half-light starts to rise
And the long gone come back again
After the shortcuts and the highs
Comes the pain
And the rain and the rain and the rain
And the rain and the rain and the rain
Some hokey-cokey money sweet as honey nothing found
There’s a Bitcoin river rising the dam is coming down
A hint of degradation hanging on a sigh
Now slogans and perversions just don’t raise a smile
As the deep force evolves a form
When the dead loss outweighs the gain
Inside the cold eye of the storm
Hides the shame
And the rain and the rain and the rain
And the rain and the rain and the rain
And the rain
And the rain keeps falling
And the rain
And the rain keeps falling
And the rain
And the rain keeps falling
And the rain
And the rain keeps falling…
When the half-light starts to rise
And the long gone come back again
After the shortcuts and the highs
Comes the pain
And the rain and the rain and the rain
And the rain and the rain and the rain
And the rain and the rain and the rain
And the rain and the rain and the rain
