Cause of the Rain Lyrics

Evangeline is leaving home - yeah

Said don't come for me after I'm gone

No one round here ever heard of Coltrane

And its too sad to laugh and its too lost to cry

Rub Fly Agaric on your broomstick get naked and ride

And the girls are painting their faces just to hide the pain

They hang around here like the cause of the rain

It's how pornography feels before you're ready to see

The beggars all know when hungry you read

And the boys still dragging the girls down Blunderbuss Lane

And the bad ones round there born to tell every lie

The coffee's cold and lipstick dry

There's a stranger in town but no one can say his name

They hang around here like the cause of the rain

The night cleaners dream of the breached municipal floor

Spilled their blessed dead across the glories of war

And a quart of hope shall fall that they won't explain

And the sunflowers all broke the air heavy and torn

Evangeline's bootlegged heart left with the storm

And the quartet were on fire but nobody came

Now they hang around here like the cause of the rain
