Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Clouds flash overhead Just heat lightning he thinks No rain for the flames Death rides at night in a copper Pinto Candy in the glove box, where a revolver would go His bones are trapped in greasy fat And he's shaking as he laughs At jokes about the weather And news from the fire at the mill Letting parched mosquitos drink their fill Between his knuckles on the wheel While he laughs like baby pigs squeal Pale eyes huge behind thick glasses Speeding through lights Turning green as he passes Says "Weathermen are worse than those tarot card teens?" They can't explain every little thing I don't care what they say Ain't gonna rain Fires aren't made Just to be tamed Death pulls off to piss In a patch of dry weeds Aiming at every lightning bug he sees Hears a creature crying from a ditch You know Death just can't resist it He looks at all the models on the billboards going by Thinking of X's in their eyes He smiles at his wandering mind While he's glowing in the moonlight The radio turns to static He sticks his hand out the window And winces at the first drops of rain Says "Weathermen are worse than those palm reading freaks" They can't explain every little thing I don't care what they say About the rain It's not stopping in a day Ain't no way, it's not gonna end 'til every coffin's swimming
