When the Rain Falls

I'm sat thinking about the bootstrap over my head
With the thought of a minstrel taking my test
And the depth of a waveform buckling three
To the the strength of a brutal penitent me

The stairs that I climb are naked and raw
In the basket chemicals straightening for
I've been dreaming nightly sugar and lead
Of the girls in the train car wishing me dead

When the rain falls, it falls on us all
No excuses, no chance for abuses

I can still hear the cries of the ties
Bind thrice through the guise of the night
Like a drug can't be free not while
The girls in the train car watch me

Take up the knife tell the truth or it cuts
Seven empty vessels with a tightening noose
Don't stop don't tell don't try to be well
The rain is falling from the sky to the trees

When the rain falls, it falls on us all
No excuses, no chance for abuses
