Lyrics

It can be anybody

It can look like anything at all

Anyone at all

You can never tell

Regular people

They look like human beings

Haphazardly, tumbling hard

Fall right down, laugh out loud

All in the scheme of things

We're all looking up, growing tall

It's like pulling one hair (You are what you are to me)

With wet fingers (In my eyes you're a star)

Petroleum jelly (You're something I'll never be)

And watch the rain dance (You're something, I'm frightened of)

I've got to get clean

The rain will cleanse me

And I've got to wash these filthy hands

Because it's all just a futile plan

That'd mean I'd have to believe again

It's like a career to breathe

Oh an existence I can't conceive

Emotionless as in slug in my

Imagined oblivion

You would swear (It's as much fun)

That I could (As poking at a nerve)

Walk and talk (No one wants to fail)

But I doubt you will ever (But no one wants to work)

Ever prove enough

(Vocabulary test is graded on a curve)

(Smartest kid is stupid, word is never heard)

Ever prove enough

I've got to get clean

The rain will cleanse me (I doubt you'll ever prove it!)

And I've got to wash these filthy hands (I doubt you'll ever prove it!)

All these thoughts and feelings are for naught

Unappealing, so you expect them to dull and fade

Still they remain

All these thoughts and feelings are for naught

Unappealing, so you expect them to dull and fade

Still they remain

Caught

Waiting for the

Rain

Time devours life

With my soul as the defendant

Don't catch me if I fall

I may have jumped

You never know

You don't know me at all

At all

All these thoughts and feelings are for naught

Unappealing, so you expect them to dull and fade

Still they remain

All these thoughts and feelings are for naught

Unappealing, so you expect them to dull and fade

Still they remain

Because it's all just a futile plan

That'd mean I'd have to believe again

It's like a career to breathe

Oh an existence I can't conceive

Emotionless as in slug in my

Imagined oblivion

You would swear (Try pulling one hair)

That I could

Walk and talk (With wet fingers)

But I doubt you will ever

Ever prove enough (Petroleum jelly)

(And watch the rains dance)

I doubt you'll ever prove it

All these thoughts and feelings are for naught

Unappealing, so you expect them to dull and fade

Still they remain

All these thoughts and feelings are for naught

Unappealing, so you expect them to dull and fade

Still they remain

Caught

Waiting for the

Rain

Time devours

Life

Waiting for the rain
