Guante & Big Cats - Raindrops In A Hurricane lyrics

Who am I? You wouldn't believe me if I told you And I'm not telling you so disappear I don't need another face in my memory banks So thanks but no thanks The night falls in thick black drops to the concrete Slowly soaking in the spaces where the blocks meet Why is it strangers insist on talking As though our shared hardship were a bond Beyond an unfortunate coincidence She sits down and begins to talk; I'm not listenin' We are raindrops in a hurricane And I pray to no one, just ignore me We are background characters with nothing to say Just running away in other people's stories We are only extras, I am not a plucky hero I almost say it but I'm sure that she knows If we froze in place alien Archaeologists would mistake us for lovers I ain't got nothin' to say, but she asks anyway One nobody to another… Who am I? You wouldn't believe me if I told you This road is paved in good intentions dear And as we travel along Our only destination is to disappear Who am I? You wouldn't believe me if I told you And you'd have good reason, but listen here It won't make a difference either way So here's a story before we disappear: Whatever's going on started with the government She was one of them, but she wasn't one of them He was another friend, then became more Though he was marines and she was air force A fish and a bird can fall in love But where will they build their nest? They found a nice spot uptown love found a way Through the sickness, the bills and stress Nevertheless, he'd call her the one And she'd smile the kind of smile children draw on the sun The soldier and the scientist I'll admit, it's not exactly a fairy tale environment The base, the basement, the complex The case study, the case and the contents A quarantine too little too late He could see where her fingernails had clawed away paint And he still sees her face In every crowd, every back country café And every checkpoint, every step that he takes It's kept him awake, because it didn't have to be this way See he's immune, she may have been too But security forces shoot first They never got a chance to ask questions She never got a chance to run And he never got a chance to hurt He keeps movin'
