Drought Of 2013 Lyrics - Big Head Todd And The Monsters

In 2010, I took her in and said Id love her till 

The sky has lost her blue and the rivers all run still 

Followed her till she came in and put her hand in mine 

Then we lived in green fields but now its just a shame 

Cities which once grew like weeds, now shipwrecks on the plain 

750 days since a drop of rain 

Then came November and my lover hid up rye 

Drank it in the swelter as she laughed as the red sun died 

She said she was gonna leave me and head out to the sea-side 

Catch a cloud and ride, never such a thing 

Politicians blamed each other 

The preachers swelled with pride 

The wealthy killed each other and the poor gave up a smile 

Cause 750 days without a drop of rain made everyone the same
