Rain

far across the world a moth is flapping its wings

in a ditch somewhere some kid is growing

rain along the roof it's sunny somewhere else

up in clintonville it's started snowing

rain in the gutter and a toy boat capsizes

as a sailboat capsizes in the ocean

things are silent sitting in the basement here

we're spinning too fast to feel the motion

squash a bee it stings you and your finger swells

from the cemetery you hear wedding bells

couples making love as a mother tells

her son about the stork

his daddy pops the cork

off a bottle of champagne

and it's raining

it's raining

it's raining

it's raining

cars are driving some are parked and some are crashed

they don't look like much up in an airplane

delphiniums are drowning on the porch at home

pre-packaged in a basket with cellophane

rain in the gutter and a toy boat capsizes

as a sailboat capsizes in the ocean

things are silent sitting in the basement here

we're spinning too fast to feel the motion

a tidal wave in asia kills a million fish

everybody has to die but you still wish

what on earth is happening in the playground

some kid things he's found

a hole in the ground

that reaches to japan

and it's raining

it's raining

it's raining

it's raining

it's raining

raining
