A Cold Rain Falls Lyrics

Free of illusion, he's headed nowhere

She screams in the stairwell and calls it a prayer

He paints and sells the same picture a thousand times

She's a pickleball jock but she's throwing up wine

Wearing round colored glasses just to look smart

Taking endless selfies and calling them art

Urban lives, urban hopes

Thinking of how to survive

Urban plans, urban dreams

Then a cold rain falls on the city

Accountants on Harleys, baristas quoting Marx

Tearing down statues, sleeping in parks

Trust fund babies they never forgive

Hipsters in concrete jungles telling farmers how to live

Pole dancers earning tuition, bankers betting big on games

He may be your neighbor but you don't know his name

Urban lives, urban hopes

Thinking of how to survive

Urban plans, urban dreams

Then a cold rain falls on the city

Couples join mega churches, then both have affairs

We'll fix everything, we'll tax those billionaires

He works in his boxers while wearing a tie

She feels all alone but forgets how to cry

He has a chip on his shoulder, she howls at the night

Hotels charging by the hour, apartments with no light

Kids getting nose jobs, dogs wearing coats

Everyone has strong opinions but no time to vote

She dresses like a hooker because it's Halloween

They have a giant mortgage, but live like sardines

Urban lives, urban hopes

Thinking of how to survive

Urban plans, urban dreams

Then a cold rain falls on the city

Urban lives, urban hopes

Thinking of how to survive

Urban plans, urban dreams

Then a cold rain falls on the city
