He's ripping the sun from the sky

Painting black clouds with the wave of his hand

He's hurt quite enough

He's seen more than he can stand

And he just wants to let it rain

And tear it all down again

Until all the saints and the sinners are washed down the drain

And it's just gonna let it rain

He said it was so good on the day they were made

He laid down to rest in the grass for seven days

He gave 'em his very best

And now there's just one sadness

And he just wants to let it rain

And tear it all down again

Until all the saints and the sinners are washed down the drain

And it's just gonna let it rain

All he does is breathe

As his wounds all bleed

Maybe they'll heal with time

God knows he's got time

And he just wants to let it rain

And tear it all down again

Until all the saints and the sinners are washed down the drain

Yeah, it's just gonna let it rain
