Violent Femmes
I Hear the Rain
[Chorus]
I hear the rain, I hear the rain
I hear the rain, got to kill the pain
I hear the rain, I hear the rain
I hear the rain, got to kill the pain

[Verse 1]
Bury me out in the lone prairie
Prairie water washin' over me
Bury me out on the lone prairie
Friendly calls of the coyote

[Chorus]
I hear the rain, I hear the rain
I hear the rain, got to kill the pain
I hear the rain, I hear the rain
I hear the rain, got to kill the pain

[Verse 2]
Bury me out in the lone city
Sewer water, color of my tea
Bury me out in the lone city
Sewer water wash my daughter down to the sea

[Chorus]
I hear the rain, I hear the rain
I hear the rain, got to kill the pain
I hear the rain, I hear the rain
I hear the rain, got to kill the pain
[Bridge]
She used to sit and watch the rain
Now I think I'll go insane
She used to sit and watch the rain
Now I think I'll go insane
She used to sit and watch the rain
Now I think I'll go insane
She used to sit and watch the rain
Now I think I'll go insane

[Chorus]
I hear the rain, I hear the rain
I hear the rain, got to kill the pain
I hear the rain, I hear the rain
I hear the rain, got to kill the pain

[Chorus/Verse 1]
I hear the rain, I hear the rain (Bury me out in the lone prairie)
I hear the rain, got to kill the pain (Prairie water washin' over me)
I hear the rain, I hear the rain (Bury me out on the lone prairie)
I hear the rain, got to kill the pain (Friendly calls of the coyote)

[Chorus/Verse 2]
I hear the rain, I hear the rain (Bury me out in the lone city)
I hear the rain, got to kill the pain (Sewer water, color of my tea)
I hear the rain, I hear the rain (Bury me out in the lone city)
I hear the rain, got to kill the pain (Sewer water, wash my daughter down to the sea)
[Outro]
I hear the rain, I hear the rain, I hear the rain
