Lyrics

A Record Year for Rainfall

I read in the paper today It's been a record year for rainfall And you were leaning 'gainst the bathroom wall In your lonely dress, was your only dress Stand accusing across I got a temper set for tinder And you were shrugging it off like a feather Saying, "Oh, would you look at this weather?" What's the use of all of this? It's to remember you in the entire 'Cause I'm watching it slip away And in the annals of the empire Did it look this grey Before the fall? Before the fall So rake your thumbnail across The stretch of the patina Revealing a Proserpina In a low recline, in a steep decline What's the use of all of this? It's to remember you in the entire 'Cause I'm watching it slip away And in the annals of the empire Did it look this grey Does it look so grey Does it always look so grey Before the fall? Before the fall
