Mr. Rain Lyrics - Singles - Blumenfeld Hugh

(for Kurt Cobain) 

I could never see your face 

To see if you were really crying 

Your hair hung like rain 

I would have sworn that you were lying. 

One long scream ran through every refrain 

You were riding four white horses, they were driving you insane 

But we were riding shotgun when you blew out your brain 

You never reached it, did you, 

Mr Rain 

The needle drives the city 

And the city drives the sound 

Orphans always follow 

The music underground 

Everyone who cut you down while you were raising Cain 

Who bought your outcast mutterings 

then flushed you down the drain 

All who love and curse you now, we love and curse in vain 

You never reached it, did you, 

Mr Rain 

Mr Rain, Mr Rain 

Mr Rain, Mr Rain 

You never reached it, did you, Mr Rain 

Every spring kill the king 

Every spring kill the king 

Every spring kill the king 

Oh you never reached it, did you? 

Oh you never reached it, did you? 

No, you never reached it, did you?
