Pray for Rain
(A.Waters)
Well his head's on fire, it exploded in flames, flat out on the bar stool with his cane champagne Stood up for the national anthem, he took off like a wheel of Catherines Burned out like station wagon, set up like a rat in a drain Shook his head he don't know nothin', better pray for rain
Well his ears are burnin', smoke in his eyes, shoulda left the engine runnin', could be runnin' when the engine dies Hang on for that cool water, back off she's the landlord's wife He's got no key the roller, he ain't yet the age to drive Go home man the party's over, they'll burn you alive
She laid a dollar on the table, put a king in his hand, stuck a monkey in a barrel, burned the Devil on a three-card scam He can't keep his hands from shakin', she's as cool as lemonade He can feel the payback comin' round the mountain as she comes again He can feel the payback comin', better pray for rain
Well he don't drink whiskey, well he don't drink beer, so what's he drinkin' in a hurry like he wants outta here Says he's leavin' at the stroke of ten, show me the money if he lasts 'til then Show me a ticket for the gravy train, he's on the dancefloor stumblin' in She's got the riddle that'll blow his brains, you better pray for rain
He's a dog in the window, he's a birdwing fly, if he's gonna wear the halo better change the tie She's the honey with the green dress on, cat got the money for his eyes and tongue She's got ya man give it away, you oughta see her with the love light on She's got ya brother, what d'ya say? you better pray for rain
