>
> But you know
>
> How it goes
>
>
>
> Blah blah blah blah
>
> Blah blah blah blah
>
> Blah
>
> All along
>
>
>
> Won't you please stop complaining
>
> I'm playing a song
>
>
>
> But all the rain comes down the same
>
> Falling to from where it came
>
> On the ground then back around
>
> Up into the sky
>
>
>
> I wish you could've heard the music
>
> When the clouds growled overhead
>
> I finally felt enthusiastic
>
> I finally felt alive
>
>
>
> Blah blah blah blah
>
> Blah blah blah blah
>
> Blah
>
> So you said
>
>
>
> Would it please you to listen
>
> To thunder instead
>
>
>
> Man the rain came down that day
>
> And it drained my soul away
>
> And I wondered why I even
>
> Bothered to try
>
>
>
> Mr. Moon
>
> Tell us about the sky
>
>
>
> The sky is deep and dark and eternally high
>
> Many people think that's where you go when you die
>
>
>
> Do you?
>
>
>
> Well I think you return to obscure
>
> Or wherever you were
>
> Before you were
>
> But I won't let you lose yourself
>
> In the rain
>
>
>
> We have so much left to sing
>
> There's a storm for every spring
>
> All you see and you and me
>
> Became from a star
>
>
>
> You're a star
>
> Yes you are
>
>
>
> (Silent explosive and
>
> Silent explosive and)
>
>
>
> Create until nothing is left to create and
>
> The universe bursts with an overworked sigh then
>
> Pretend to pretend to re-crown the creation and
>
> Sing the same thing 'til the clouds start to cry and then
>
> Over and over and over again and then
>
> Over and over and
>
> Never again
>
