And the Rain - Shriekback

Some spooky cowboy voodoo what did you do on the plain?

Marlboro man is decomposing got Jack Daniels on the brain

All the fatal hesitation in opening the files

Incidental caterwauling of the lord of the flies

Some neat holistic vision deft incisions sliced around

There’s a different city showing now the weather’s broken down

A little nuclear friction upending all the lies

Got sunburst and distortion on these unsceptred isles

When the half-light starts to rise

And the long gone come back again

After the shortcuts and the highs

Comes the pain

And the rain and the rain and the rain

And the rain and the rain and the rain

Some hokey-cokey money sweet as honey nothing found

There’s a Bitcoin river rising the dam is coming down

A hint of degradation hanging on a sigh

Now slogans and perversions just don’t raise a smile

As the deep force evolves a form

When the dead loss outweighs the gain

Inside the cold eye of the storm

Hides the shame

And the rain and the rain and the rain

And the rain and the rain and the rain

And the rain

And the rain keeps falling

And the rain

And the rain keeps falling

And the rain

And the rain keeps falling

And the rain

And the rain keeps falling…

When the half-light starts to rise

And the long gone come back again

After the shortcuts and the highs

Comes the pain

And the rain and the rain and the rain

And the rain and the rain and the rain

And the rain and the rain and the rain

And the rain and the rain and the rain
