Did You Hear the Rain?
Lyrics:
[English]
Whoa
Why do you treat me so?
Whoa
Why do you treat me so?
Well, you cause me to weep
And you cause me to mourn
You cause me to pack up my bags and leave home
Whoa
Why do you treat me so?
Oh, did you hear the thunder
Or the rain?
Means I'm coming home again
Means I'm coming home my friend
Oh, did you steal my name?
Oh, you Jack of all trades
You're the master of none
Oh, the race has begun
I was born a champion
I was born to jump and run
Oh, did you hear the rain?
Oh, the rain, woo
You can try and run and hide
Tearing at the chain
Oh, Lucifer's inside
Oh, did your siblings tell you
I was wasting up your time?
Oh, now you're wasting mine
You put me back in line
And I'm counting every link
And I guess you think that's fine
Oh, did you hear the rain?
Oh, the rain, woo
You can try and run and hide
Tearing at the chain
Oh, Lucifer's inside
Oh, did I send a shiver
Down your spine?
Well, I do it all the time
It's a little trick of mine
Did I make you shake your knees?
Did I make him spill his wine?
Lord, I'm spreading like disease
Lord, I'm all up in your mind
Oh, Lucifer's inside
Oh, Lucifer's inside
Oh, did you hear the rain?
Oh, the rain, woo
You can try and run and hide
Tearing at the chain
Means I'm coming home again
Means I'm coming home my friend
Oh, Lucifer's inside
Oh, Lucifer's inside
Lucifer's inside
