This old porch is a steamin' greasy plate of enchiladas
With lots of cheese and onions ans a guacamole salad
You can get them at the LaSalle Hotel in old downtown
With ice tea and a waitress who will smile every time

Says here an astronaut put on a pair of diapers
Drove eighteen hours to kill her boyfriend
And in my hotel room I'm wondering
If you read that story too and if we both might
Be having the same imaginary conversation

I need a fix cos I'm going down
Down to the bits that I left uptown
I need a fix cos I'm going down

Now in the street, there is violence
And-and a lots of work to be done
No place to hang out our washing
And-and I can't blame all on the sun

I walked from Natchez to Hushpukena
I built a fire by the side of the road
I worked for nothin in a Belzoni saw mill
I caught a Blind out on the B and O
Talullah's friendly, Belzoni ain't so
A 44'll get you 99

The weather started getting rough
the tiny ship was tossed
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The Minnow would be lost
The Minnow would be lost.

Keeping pace with the rain theme...


I stand out breaking
In the Portland rain
I see the end there in your eyes
As I watch you drive away.

I walk back blind
Into my cold dream house
And I think about the damage
As I put the big light out.

They say someone broke the bar mirror

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

I envy the rain
That falls on your face
That wets your eyelashes
And dampens your skin
And touches your tongue
And soaks through your shirt
And drips down your back
I envy the rain
