Rain on Tin - The Ocean Party

I hear the bells calling out

As what’s left of an ageing town

Shufflin', I hear them sing out loud, out of tune

But with 'tude, enough to remove the sin from the room

Me, I’m in the city, workin' my guns in the midday sun

But nothing’s firing, I just hear sirens telling me to break free

Fitter than I’ve ever been

So why do I always feel so out of breath?

I suppose even the best athletes

Might not even have the depth

Move around, seeking warmth and coverage

But is it something this city can not give?

So I’ll run away and I’ll rest with rain on tin

My head’s a mess and I don’t know how to get in

I’m runnin' out of steam

My legs can’t keep up with this city

I think I’ll go back home

Tarcutta seems like the right speed for me

Looking down on my town as the lights flicker and go out

And now I can breathe in a town that sleeps

So I’ll run away and I’ll rest with rain on tin

My head’s a mess and I don’t know how to get in

So I’ll run away and I’ll rest with rain on tin

Oh, my head’s a mess and I don’t know how to get in

I think I’ll move away and age in the town where I was born

It’s a steady pace, I will age here with grace

Before everything’s gone

And I’ll disappear, it’s too incredible but I need you to see

Oh, my biggest fear is that I’m forgettable
