Driving In The Rain Songtext

Driving In The RainWith all your vice and volume the whole of last weekThe plastic pretenders to paradise speakOf your fictions of triumph and legends of painThe sense that you'd left you'd be back once againThere's a glint in your eyes and the sky starts to laughIt's two to one you never did things by halfAnd I'm out on the rooftops yelling your nameCos without you this town will be too much the sameYou went driving in the rainI'll never see you againThere's nothing in the air left to compareTo all of your passion and genius painYou went driving in the rainI'll never see you againThere was talk of an illness that came by surpriseThe papers did penance, the whole town took sidesOh, but it was your dancing and mischeivous mindAnd then we were shot of you, but no-one's that blindAnd there's flowers have bloomed down the side of your streetWhere you and your demons did openly meetAnd I hope it's wide open where you've got toThere's closed minds in this town that couldn't accept you(Chorus)They're making excuses, the reasons the factsThey're reasoning how long you'll take to come backBut there's guilt in their prayers, maybe shame in their prideThey know it was no fault of yours down insideThey steps can't be retraced cos tracks disappearAnd there'd be no welcome for you back hereBecause you were the worst side of everyone's soulThey had to get rid or face up to the cold(Chorus)
