Black Sheets Of Rain Lyrics - Black Sheets Of Rain - Bob Mould

Checking in every morning 

To the sound of steam and caffeine 

The sludge in the bottom of the cup 

Just like the sludge in the stream 

Slag heap keep growing higher 

Every morning the sky, it's on fire 

And it's only 9 AM again 

Is there an upside to every downside? 

Keep it inside, it's a downward slide of broken glass 

Keeps building in piles 

And I don't know 

I don't know if the sun ever smiles 

It's the black sheets of rain 

Following me again 

Everywhere I go, everywhere I've been 

Following me again 

I feel the toxins fill my blood stream 

As I'm walking through the parking lot 

Over and over and over and over and over and over 

The clouds hanging over 

Choking the life out of me 

The motto seems to be 

We work in order to be free 

It's the black sheets of rain 

Following me again 

Everywhere I go, everywhere I've been 

Following me again 

Over and over and over and over and over and over again 

Where were you in my hour of need 

I never see the sun stop shining 

The clouds roll over the sunlight 

Someone stopped the sun from shining 

And I stand here, ready to bleed 

I never see the sun stop shining 

A little rain is all we need 

Someone stopped the sun from shining 

Where will you be in my darkest hour of need? 

I never see the sun stop shining 

Where will you be in my darkest hour of need? 

Someone stopped the sun from shining 

Here it comes again 

Here it comes again 

Here it comes again 

Here it comes again 

Here it comes again
