You were born with a choice at least

So i'm not dropping any sympathy

And in my head i'm on my porch

Buildings across the street from me

Living lives too complete for me

Faces far too sweet for me

Hey, these are the rains you've read about

(and it's all coming down)

And I can't discredit beggars

Cause I for one have begged

I.e. dear world please leave me alone

Dear world please find me a home

And I'm not asking for a lot

Fuck

I'm only wanting

To slip through the pavement

Christ

These are the rains you've read about
