Words & music by Link Wray

Originally by Link Wray



I hear a sound

It's going through my brain

I hear talk of people

I feel the fallin' rain



I see a man crying

'cause the whole world has left him

Kids are laughing at the funny faces

Of a clown



My mind is like a spring in a clock

It won't unwind

I can't see, can't think, can't feel

I'm out of time



I'm up, then I'm down now

Tell me where is it going to end

You say start at the beginning

Of the end, my friend



I hear thunder

And I can feel the wind

I can see angry faces

In the eyes of men



And don't forget kid's stake

Where kids lay bleeding on the ground

And there's no place on this planet

Where peace can be found



So there'll be stabbings and shootings

And young men dying all around

And it keeps going through my brain

And I can still hear the sound



I hear talking of people

The whole world has gone insane

And all there is left is the fallin' rain
