Shower Lyrics

the blackest storm i ever saw

was coming in from omaha

and the latest news from tokyo was a lot of ugly numbers

i was checkin' pay phones for forgotten coins

as the clouds came over west des moines

got into the house

got the curtains drawn

got into the the shower with all my clothes on

hey! hey! let the water come down!

hey! hey! let the water come down!



by noon it was clear that winter'd come

and i just let the water run

and i got soap suds in my eyes

and it stung like iodine

the phone started ringing like a fire alarm

and the voice on the machine was brutally calm

new numbers coming down the wire

got into the shower with my eyes on fire

hey! hey! let it fall on me,

let it all come down relentlessly!

you swore that you would stick around

when days like this started coming down!

break out the crystal!

get out the good champagne!

we're going down.... in flames.
