Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I still dream of Orgonon

I wake up crying

You're making rain

And you're just in reach

When you and sleep escape me

[Verse 2]

You're like my yo-yo

That glowed in the dark

What made it special

Made it dangerous

So I bury it

And forget

[Verse 3]

But every time it rains

You're here in my head

Like the sun coming out

Ooh, I just know that something good is gonna happen

I don't know when

But just saying it could even make it happen

[Verse 4]

On top of the world, looking over the edge

You could see them coming

You looked too small

In their big black car

To be a threat to the men in power

[Verse 5]

I hid my yo-yo

In the garden

I can't hide you

From the government

Oh, God, daddy

I won't forget

[Verse 6]

'Cause every time it rains

You're here in my head

Like the sun coming out

Ooh, I just know that something good is gonna happen

I don't know when

But just saying it could even make it happen

[Verse 7]

And every time it rains

You're here in my head

Like the sun coming out

Look your son's coming out

Ooh, I just know that something good is gonna happen

I don't know when

But just saying it could even make it happen

[Verse 8]

Ooh, just saying it could even make it happen

[Verse 9]

We're cloudbusting, daddy

[Verse 10]

Your sun's coming out

Your sun's coming out
