Intro: Verse: 1 Turn off the TV and turn off the light Turn off the street lamps as well Turn off the billboards that scream through the night And dream the policemen to Hell verse: 2 Close all the windows and close all the doors Close all the shutters and blinds Close down the churches and pray to the whores Lay down and then close your eyes It’s amazing what comes into view As we’re finally breaking the chains When the temperature rises x2 We’ll go to our place in the rain Verse: 3 Take down the pictures and take out the trash Take up the tattered old rugs Take up the mattress and count all the cash And laugh with the last of the drugs Verse 4 Burn all the papers and burn all the wood Burn what we can’t understand Run up a flag for the old neighbourhood Sit back and then take my hand It’s amazing what lovers can do With just a kiss and a glass of champagne When the rivers run dry x2 We’can go to our place in the rain Bridge: Verse 5 Pay off the piper and pay all the bills Pay for the getaway car Blow out the candles and head for the hills Pray that we make it that far Verse 6 Run from the poison and run from the flames Run from the maddening crowd Laugh at the whispers of who’ll take the blame And sing all the sinners out loud It’s amazing what crazy can do When every good citizen’s sane When heaven’s a desert We’ll go to our place in the rain It’s amazing what comes into view When you just connect your heart back to your brain When heaven’s a desert We’ll go to our place in the rain
