Lyrics Rain on Tin - The Ocean Party

Rain on Tin

I hear the bells calling out
As what’s left of an ageing town
Shufflin', I hear them sing out loud, out of tune
But with 'tude, enough to remove the sin from the room
Me, I’m in the city, workin' my guns in the midday sun
But nothing’s firing, I just hear sirens telling me to break free
Fitter than I’ve ever been
So why do I always feel so out of breath?
I suppose even the best athletes
Might not even have the depth
Move around, seeking warmth and coverage
But is it something this city can not give?
So I’ll run away and I’ll rest with rain on tin
My head’s a mess and I don’t know how to get in
I’m runnin' out of steam
My legs can’t keep up with this city
I think I’ll go back home
Tarcutta seems like the right speed for me
Looking down on my town as the lights flicker and go out
And now I can breathe in a town that sleeps
So I’ll run away and I’ll rest with rain on tin
My head’s a mess and I don’t know how to get in
So I’ll run away and I’ll rest with rain on tin
Oh, my head’s a mess and I don’t know how to get in
I think I’ll move away and age in the town where I was born
It’s a steady pace, I will age here with grace
Before everything’s gone
And I’ll disappear, it’s too incredible but I need you to see
Oh, my biggest fear is that I’m forgettable
