lyrics

Gave up the ghost down on fourth street
My body buried in prophetic cold
Seems like they shook up this town
Just to let us all down
Just as long as something got sold
Babe, I got old

Everybody got their reasons leaving
And I know nothing gonna stay the same
Cause the easiest part about running, darlin'
You ain't never gotta change

Ain't that just like the rain?
Just like the rain
Some kind of pain
Just like the rain

Johnny always thought it was funny, man
How he wished life would just leave him be
Now he just haunts his own house
Renewing old vows and
Talking to Jesus in the trees

There's this pretty, painted, little lady
Who sings holy in my golden frame
She says, "Listen, little dove
All you ever learn from love
Is the sound of reshackled chains."

And now ain't that a shame?
She ain't never gonna change
Just like the rain
Just like the rain

I don't know how all this started
I know moonlight don't hide no bones
But remember what you said
That night we were laying in bed how
death's only leaving alone?

I'll keep a-pounding this hammer, honey
Till there ain't nothing left to my name
The mystery hangs, the world flashes her fangs
As I pump this poison through my veins

Ain't that just like the rain?
Just like the rain
Some kind of pain
Like the rain
