INTRO: By the way the rain hit you would have thought it was hail-and by the way the pain hit you would have thought it was hell- but in the end it was all just water-
Ooohhhh oooh oh oh oh
All of the lights- All of the lights- All of the lights –
Seem to be burnt out baby- But your still shinin’ and it’s-makin’ me crazy
I’m a moth to the flame Somebody-save me-But your no god-Guess I forgot
-No your no saviour-With your black lungs-I guess that glow babe was -
leftover from your last cigarette run
Ooohhhh oooh oh oh oh
In this burnt out town Of -molasses and mud-All the streetlights flicker
-If you only look up-
So shake those lights out and - and send them down- I won’t stop shining till I Leave this town-
Raintown oh raintown- Raintown oh raintown- raintown oh rain rain town- just let me know when I can head back out
Ooohhhh oooh oh oh oh
Between black waters I -I nearly drown- But when I woke I wore gold silk and a molasses crown- I’m getting too old to try and run away- But I’m still too young to
really want to stay
In raintown- oh rain town- Raintown oh raintown- raintown oh rain rain town-
Guess I’ll stick around
Ooohhhh oooh oh oh oh 3
If you love like the sun-Well the gold will fade-The honey drips down and melts-melts away-But I love like the moon- So my lips they stain- A molasses bruise keeps the heart in it’s place
When I first moved to raintown thought the- Molasses was mud- But I soon I found that cigarette ash and honey - is better than Sugar -and dry love - Yeah cigarette ash and honey- Is better than sugar and dry love- no sugar and dry love- no sugar and dry love-but -
Molasses and rain- Molasses and rain- Was the only drink to make the angels stay-And they stayed- and I prayed- and they stayed-
So shake it off and-Shake it down-Hell is the only highroad Out of raintown-
And Ill take it down -And take it out-Take it down and- Take it out -Down and out -Down and out-Down and-Out
