lyrics

I have steamrolled six towns this week
Kicking pebbles all the way home
World so big, world so small
Terrified of it all
Most days oh
Today's like anything

And of course it rained
And of course it rained

Throw back all your long lost whims
They work like
Novocaine dial down your mind
Oh, don't feel a thing
We have known for some time
How all this could go
You and me, fish in the sea
As I lay here dying
And of course it rained
And of course it rained

Ten and two to the keep away from you
Hauled it westward to that double blue view
Five under the whole way out
Spots populate the ground
Cause of course it rained
And of course it rained

Cause I'm the storm
You're the sunshine in my wake
I'm the highway racer,
You're that one car in the way
And I'm the list
You're the thing I'm trying to make
I'm a draft dodger,
But you're a fight I'm gonna take

Cause I'm the storm
You're the sunshine in my wake
I'm the highway racer,
You're that one car in the way
And I'm the list
You're the thing I'm trying to make
I'm a draft dodger,
But you're a fight
A fight I'm gonna take

And of course it rained
And of course it rained
Some days it's sideways
It's a give, it's a take
