The Ballard

Send someone out to get me in
I think it's starting to rain
But don't be rough
Don't ask too many questions of me
I don't think I can stand

It's very late in the evening
And I see the sun, it refuses to shine
And if you believed everything you have said to me now
Why don't you understand?

And I say to myself
This world ain't doing me that much good
Said I've lost my reasons
I stand out in the falling rain

Well, I've been ten days in overdrive
Yeah, I crawl the nearest wall
And I don't know where it is I am going to, or
Where I've just come from

And one more drink might make me feel better
It is a friend when you are down
One more drink will only bring me closer to
That little thing that I'm running from

And I say to myself, yeah
This world ain't doing me that much good, no
Said I've lost my reasons
I stand out in the falling rain, yeah, well
And I say to myself, yeah
This world ain't doing me that much good, no
Said I've lost my reasons
I stand out in the falling rain, yeah

Yeah, I say to myself, yeah
This world ain't doing me that much good, no
Said I've lost my reasons
I stand out in the falling rain

Once again, I stand out in the falling rain
Shining out in the falling rain
Such a shame, shining in the falling rain
