SF Rain

Take me down to the water put it in my cup
Fill me up till I overflow with
Starry eyed contemplation
She's a slave of sensation
She's the queen of the dreamers
Roll dice, roll

Walking through peanut brittle air
Slurping on my body through the straws of my raised hair
Over sloppy sidewalks serving soup bowls of champagne
While people run like puddles down the super market drain
Downtown San Fransisco in the rain

And watercolor cars careen precariously past
Slip, slip sliding down black satin sheets of glass
Breaks scream in protest they don't wanna slow down
And the mermaid swimming by, she lost her legs in her wet gown

Downtown San Francisco city's
Whiskey is washing the sky
So I throw back my head drink it dry
Pour an ocean in my cup
Cause I want Everything Beautiful
Everything Oohhh

And day drips by like ice
Slowly melting as she crawls inside the night
Her curtain of clouds crack
And night blooms in her black
And all across the city's aching back she lies

And I must be a shiny penny - way boys try to pick me up
I'm laughing cause I'm lucky but they're all out of luck
Cause I'm tame as the sky and as calm as the sea
And I am what I do and I do what I please

Downtown San Francisco City's
Whiskey is washing the sky
So I throw back my head drink it dry
Pour an ocean in my cup
Cause I want everything beautiful
Everything ohhh

Take me down to the water put it in my cup
Fill me up till I overflow with
Starry eyed contemplation
She's a slave of sensation
She's the queen of the dreamers
Roll dice, roll
