Shower

The blackest storm I ever saw

Was headed in from Omaha

And the latest news from Tokyo was a lot of ugly numbers

I was checkin' pay phones for forgotten coins

As the clouds came over West Des Moines

Got into the the shower with all my clothes on

Came into the house, got the curtains drawn

Hey hey, let the water run down

Hey hey, let the water run down

By noon it was clear that winter'd come

And I just let the watеr run

And I got soap suds in my eyes

And they stung likе iodine

The phone started ringing like a fire alarm

And the voice on the machine was brutally calm

New numbers coming down the wire

Got into the shower with my eyes on fire

Hey hey let it fall on me

Let it all come down relentlessly

You swore that you would stick around

When days like this started coming down

Well, get out the crystal

Get out the good champagne

We're going down

In flames
