It's Gonna Rain

There are nights for starting fires
And burning the fuck all down
Making fireflies out of burning embers
And chase the suits right out of town

There are nights to trace our paths
Down roads still unpaved
Lift that burning asphalt on your mama's shovel
Cuz nothing here remains the same

But now, do you count between the lightning strikes?
Cuz we already know, it's gonna rain

Those were mornings for chasing dreams
Born of subtle crimes the night before
Shooing spiders out of the flower box
And all the old men still keeping score

Now there's a crowd at your window
And the gentry's at your door
Empty promise in your pocket and a bottle in your fist
And the crowd still waiting wanting more

And you, do you count between the lightning strikes?
Cuz you know, it's gonna rain
Cuz you know, it's gonna rain
Cuz you know, it's gonna rain
It's gonna rain

There are nights to trace our paths by starlight
Down roads still unpaved
Now is the time to say goodnight
Cuz nothing here remains the same

And I, I'm gonna count between the lightning strikes
Cuz I know, it's only rain
Cuz I know, it's only rain
