Rained On

I've been living in a dustbowl with half closed eyes

And if I believe the radio, the levee is dry

There is sick on the pavement from seven weeks ago

Nothing is sacred, not even our home

Feels like there's a drug dust filling up my nose

I won't be sorry anymore

Since January 1st

When everything got rained on

Washed away the dirt

Saw the heavens letting go

In a melancholy burst

Everything got rained on

Didn't even hurt

Everything has changed, not for better or for worse

Are they tears or is it rain?

Doesn't matter anymore

In the end they're both the same

We're less filthy than before

Didn't ask for a downpour

Didn't need a flood

Still I think I found the answer somewhere in the mud

All this lying in the sun doesn't fill my cup

I won't be sorry anymore

Since January 1st

When everything got rained on

Washed away the dirt

Saw the heavens letting go

In a melancholy burst

Everything got rained on

Didn't even hurt

I won't be sorry anymore

Since January 1st

When everything got rained on

Washed away the dirt

Saw the heavens letting go

In a melancholy burst

Everything got rained on

Didn't even hurt

I don't plan on feeling empty for any longer than I must

If California needs a drink, I'll be joining her for one
