January Rain

They say everything that rises

Will be brought down

Anyone who's anybody

Is getting out of town

The highheels on the long weekend

Clatter in the street below

Somebody got pinned again

Underneath my window

The crowd roars on the wing

And I call out your name

They're keepin' score on the radio

But it all sounds the same (home away game)

The punters on the platform

Stagger throughout the yellow light

Force the door and slash the seats

We're all goin' home tonight

Up and down the nature strip

The Sunday drinkers ride

Faith is flowin' down the Esplanade

Drip try and lemon tide

It's perfect one day

That's when it's raining again

Crouched upon the ocean

Is the city that I live in

(chorus)

Ya never build too high

In January rain
