Rain King (Live)
[Chorus 1]
Rain King in chains has nowhere to go
His jet stream daydream cocksure hard luck show
His mind a fountain, his daylight sparks
He's a shotgun schoolyard, street-wise white-hot kid
With a whip-cream phone call breakdown, Rain King fist
His mind a countdown, his daylight sparks
[Verse 1]
I need three years to clear these thoughts, hey
I'd like to say I knew one true thing
It feels like years and all I've done is fought
And not turned up anything
[Verse 2]
Let the black day glow and roll over my bed
I'm waiting here for some reality crease
There's one big dead end in my head
And not a momеnt of peace
[Chorus 2]
Crossfire Rain King with his Cadillac kid
Marriеs every dictionary from his trainyard bliss
His lips a fountain, his daylight sparks
Scattershot image king fortunate wheel when?
Keeps a steel drum wedding ring Pontiac doorknob tent
His lips a fountain, his daylight sparks
[Verse 3]
Hung up on a speed king nation, caught up on a nail
Hanging tight with time, at least a little while
Your sister is a beauty when she's naked, like my kid
Out here in this whirlpool world, looking for a pitchfork kiss
