Lyrics John Martyn

John Martyn

Acid Rain

The rain came down

I heard the sound of yesterday's tv

Rain came down

Burning down the highway

Rain keeps falling

Raindrops keep on fooling me

Rain keeps falling

Raindrops keep on getting in my eyes

The rain fell down

I heard the sound of yesterday's tv

Rain fell down

I heard the sound of politicians

The words keep failing

The words that keep on fooling me

Raindrops falling

Falling in my eyes

Every time it rains, I turn the tv on

Every time it rains, I run away and hide

Every time it rains, I run on home to mama

Every time it rains - acid rain

Acid stripping rain

Heard the rain

Acid rain, acid stripping

Rain keeps falling, falling on us everyone

Rain keeps falling, burning in our eyes

Every time it rains, I run away and hide

Every time it rains, I cover up my head

Every time it rains, I run into my house

Every time it rains, burning in my eyes

Every time it rains, I run on down the lane

Every time it rains, I cover up my eyes

Every time it rains, I run on home to mama

Every time it rains, I've got to call the children home

Every time it rains, I cover up my head

Every time it rains, I cover up my garden

Every time it rains, dripping in my eyes

Every time it rains, acid rain

You can't fool me, it's not water at all

Just acid rain, dripping from the skies

Acid rain, just burning in my eyes
