lyrics

feels like we’re running different scores
you’re always hungry and i’m never wanting more
but i got food for thought that’s what laughter’s for
you know i’d always be your clown if you’d just let me hang around
to smile through the pain but all you ever do is dress for rain
all that you do is dress for rain
and we’ll get sent to different shores
you’ll take your chance to correspond another war
but i got news for you you don’t have to shoot
my flag is failing in the wind nobody has to lose just so you can win
time and again why’d you always have to dress for rain?
all that you do is dress for rain
and all this talk of different worlds
astronomy ain’t easy for a complicated girl
but i could be your moon circle right round you
so take a trip up here someday the sun will shine in exactly the same way
and I’ll shine the same and you wont ever have to dress for rain
but all that you do is dress for rain
