Everyday rain.
Two loose end kids on the corner
Of a night that dragged like a chain
Decided to go for a joyride
To shake off the everyday rain
Two idle hands inside handcuffs
For setting a warehouse aflame
His only reply, when they asked him why
Was, "Because of the everyday rain
Some people can't handle the humdrum
But it's something that has to be done
You've just got to live with the everyday rain
And catch the occasional sun
The drunkard opens a bottle
The junkie opens a vein
The young girl opens her legs, not for love
But to shake off the everyday rain
Housewife with a broken down marriage
Goes down to the chemist again
And picks up more anti depressants
To shake off the everyday rain
Some people can't handle the humdrum
But it's something that has to be done
You've just got to live with the everyday rain
And catch the occasional sun
There's some flowers that long ago faded
By a hole, in a fence, down a lane
And two joyriders lying, neath six feet of earth
Who shook off the everyday rain.
