I wonder what it's like to be the rainmaker
I wonder what it's like to know that I make the rain
I'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on everyone
And you can come see them when I'm...done, when I'm done
I wonder what it's like to be a super hero
I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around downtown
From some other planet, I get this funky high on yellow sun
Boy I bet my friends will all be...stunned, they're stunned
(chorus)
Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here
If I were someone else, would this all fall apart
Strange, where were you, when we started this gig,
I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me
I wonder what it's like to be the head honcho
I wonder what I'd do if they all did just what I said
I'd shout out an order, I think we're out of this man get me some
Boy don't make me wanna change my...tone, my tone
(chorus)
Please don't change, please don't break
The only thing that seems to work at all is you
Please don't change, at all from me
To you, and you to me
(chorus)
[To Top]
She said it's cold outside and she hands me my raincoat
She's always worried about things like that
She says it's all gonna end and it might as well be my fault
And she only sleeps when it's raining
And she screams and her voice is straining
(chorus)
She says baby
It's 3 am I must be lonely
When she says baby
Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
Says the rain's gonna wash away I believe it
She's got a little bit of something, God it's better than nothing
And in her color portrait world she believes that she's got it all
She swears the moon don't hang quite as high as it used to
And she only sleeps when it's raining
And she screams and her voice is straining
(chorus)
She believes that life is made up of all that you're used to
And the clock on the wall has been stuck at three for days, and days
She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway
But outside it's stopped raining
(chorus)
[To Top]
It's nothing, it's so normal you
Just stand there I could say so much
But I don't go there cuz I don't want to
I was thinking if you were lonely
Maybe we could leave here and no one would know
At least not to the point that we would think so
Everyone here, knows everyone here is thinking about
Somebody else
It's best if we all keep it under our heads
I couldn't tell, if anyone here was feeling the way I do
But I'm lonely now, and I don't know how
To get it back to good
This don't mean that, you own me
This ain't no good, in fact it's phony as hell
But things worked out just like you wanted too
If you see me out you don't know me
Try to turn your head, try to give me some room
To figure out just what I'm going to do
And everyone here, hates everyone here for doing just like they do
It's best if we all keep this quiet instead
And I couldn't tell, why everyone here was doing me like they do
But I'm sorry now, and I don't know how
To get it back to good
Everyone here, is wondering what it's like to be with somebody else
Everyone here's to blame, everyone here
Gets caught up in the pleasure of the pain, everyone hides
Shades of shame, but looking inside we're the same, we're the same
And we're all grown now, but we don't know how
To get it back to good
Everyone here, knows everyone here is thinking 'bout somebody else
It's best if we all keep this under our heads
I couldn't tell, if anyone here was feeling the way I do
But it's over now, and I don't know how, it's over now
There's no getting back to good
[To Top]
Well, it's for sure
Well, things came down hard
But you couldn't wait here
Well all I ever think about is myself
Well anyone else
Well they get strung out
But I get high, high, high
But it's something you'd better be straight
I don't got no room in my life
It's up the anchor set it free
Stop, well I, I don't want to thank you
Honey, I don't think so
You'd better stop, well try
And if there's a distance here between us,
It's you and I and I
Yeah, well it's a shame
You pander to me
C'mon stroke on my ego
Well I've just never been dumped before here by anyone else
And what doesn't kill you
It makes you linger
And it makes you wonder, yeah
For goodness sake have you ever been asleep
Thinking one thing, I'd be here
What doesn't kill you, makes you stay
Stop, well I, I don't want to thank you
Honey, I don't think so
You'd better stop, well try
And if there's a distance here between us,
It's you and I and I
But it's something you'd better be straight
I don't got no room in my life
It's up the anchor set it free
Stop, well I, I don't want to thank you
Honey, I don't think so
You'd better stop, well try
And if there's a distance here between us,
It's you and I and I
Stop, well I, I don't want to thank you
Honey, I don't think so
You'd better stop, well try
And if there's a distance here between us,
It's you and I and I

It's bad enough, that we had to learn
The harder way about giving in
Man I thought that you were joking
And I'm broken
You burn for a little while
You pass it on, try something else
Well how'd you know that you're the one
Oh you turned on me,
Cuz that's the way you heard it was supposed to be
And right away you start thinking 'bout
The wrong things and start giving up
Well, how'd you know that we're all quitters
And big sinners
So tell me, cuz I don't understand
Just how to be wrong, to be right
You know, you know, that means so much
Oh you turned on me,
Yeah cuz I'm so sick and thin
Do you remember where you where when things were heavy
So go...
You could, sell me about anything
And I'll buy because I like your face
Well, how'd you know that I'm a sucker, little fucker
You tell me it's only me
And I'll tell you it's only you
Cuz only you could make me weak
Oh, you turned on me
Yeah, cuz I'm so sick and thin
Do you remember where you were when things were (heavy) heavy
When things were heavy
Oh, it got so heavy
Love got so heavy
And I'm so sick and thin........
It's bad enough that we had to learn
The harder way about giving in
Man, I thought that you were joking...
[To Top]
We're just three miles, from the rest stop
And she slams on the brakes
She said I tried to be, but I'm not
And could you please collect your things
Well, I don't wanna be cold, I don't wanna be cruel
But I gotta find more than what's happened with you
So if you'd open up my door
She said, while you were sleeping
Well, I was listening to the radio and wondering what you're
dreaming
When, it came to mind that I didn't care
So I thought, hell if it's over
Then I had better end it quick or I could lose my nerve
Are you listening?
Can you hear me?
Have you forgotten.....
Just three miles, from the rest stop
And my mouth's too dry to reach it
The light was shining, from the radio, and;
I could barely see her face
But she knew all the words, that I never had said
She knew the crumpled up promise of a broken down man
And as I, opened up my door.....
She said, while you were sleeping
Well, I was listening to the radio and wondering what you're
dreaming
When, it came to mind that I didn't care
So I thought, hell if it's over
Then I had better end it quick or I could lose my nerve
Are you listening?
Can you hear me?
Have you forgotten.....
Forgotten, yeah.....
Have you forgotten...
You just don't love me, like I love..........
She said, while you were sleeping
Well, I was listening to the radio and wondering what you're
dreaming
When, it came to mind that I didn't care
So I thought, hell if it's over
Then I had better end it quick or I could lose my nerve
Are you listening?
Can you hear me?
Yeah....while you were sleeping
Well, I was listening to the radio and wondering what you're
dreaming
When, it came to mind that I didn't care....(yeah, yeah)
Hell if it's over
Then I had better end it quick or I could lose all my nerve
Are you listening?
Can you hear me.....
Ooh, can you hear me.....
