Raining Stones Lyrics - Picture House

(Browne/Maitland) 

Fade into day 

It's a marvel of opium grey 

I can't feel a thing 

My head's on a string 

Being led by the hand of a stranger 

Welcome to where ever else in the world that you are 

Slow motion kodachrome people are waving from cars 

Who do you think we are? 

I know something 'bout us that you don't know 

And I've found something out that I can't let show 

Now the lines have grown into skin and bone 

And it's raining stones 

But I can't feel them 

Two you and me 

When we walk into town we are three 

The cold city smiles 

I drift in denial 

Of the distance that's standing between us 

Biting the hands of the people who feed us with care 

Waking up shouting at someone when no-one is there 

It's not that I'm scared of myself 

(Chorus)
