Rain, rain, go away
Come again another day
Rain, rain, go away, go away
Verse 1:
I heard you been singin' "Rain, rain, go away"
Wishin' you could make the pain, pain go away
You need a llittle more time like Morris Day
And your life was the bomb, now you're blown away
And you can't make a dime on a dollar disc
Goin' dumb so you can't get a scholarship
When you're young, it's all good, life ahead of you
'Til you started thinkin' "Man, I would like a better view
A house with a wetter pool..."
But as it turns out, you were burnt out by the game
So your life is ice cold (which is never cool)
And the old wind blows, and the snow and the rain Make it hard to see the sunlight ahead of you
And you admitted to yourself that your self didn't do a good job
That's the end of the interview
You want to make a mark at the start
At the end, you just hope they remember you
Chorus:
And you grieve, and you grow
And you hope, and you pray
And you see that tomorrow is not like today
Did you bleed when you broke?
Now you're breaking away
'Cuz you see that tomorrow
Became yesterday
Yesterday
Verse 2:
I heard you been singin' "Rain, rain, go away"
Wishin' you could make the pain, pain go away
Maybe you been wastin' time like Otis say
Don't it make you wanna shout like Otis Day?
In the Animal House or the lion's den
Where they're swingin' those bows like a violin
They look tired like they're close to retirement
Peer pressure, man, everyone's tryin' it
I hear pressure can even make di-a-monds
Out of coal -- hold up, lemme find some then
Because I feel like I'm carryin' the world's weight
Sick of herbs treatin' me like I'm third rate
I tried to make a good impression like a first date
For some reason, that was one thing I could never do
You don't get a second chance, man
You gotta make a mark from the start
At the end you just hope they remember you...
