lyrics

And the rain fell fast like an atom bomb

Our basement took in water
Like a thirsty sponge
If you need to come clean
Go and take the plunge
Six inches deep
And as pure as mud
Our walls just gave in
To that seeping flood

Mainstreet’s gone
But there’s still a riot on
Demanding the elected ones
Come and stop their con
Money gets thrown at it
But that paper just ain’t absorbent
The hungry waters keep swallowing
As the young bloods are hollering

Witches float, as innocents sink
But your cheeks bleed through a guilty pink
As go down, what do you think?
Do you need something, would you like a drink?

A little Venice
In our aching home
But it’s such a hard sell
With skies monochrome
Pat yourself on the back
Pour yourself some champagne
What a great idea
We’ll just install a drain

Witches sink, as innocents float
Looks you should have stayed back on the boat
Up above will pull you from the moat
But they’re just doing it all for your vote

We can come back from this
And get back on the path again
Just put the last piece into place
Convince ourselves we’re worth something

And the rain fell fast like an atom bomb

Witches fly, as innocents burn
The life you lead is the one you earn
It might seem a bit postmodern
But that’s none of your concern

Witches yearn for innocents’ blood
You’ll find out too late it was another dud
Was it our hearts, or just what we loved?
That was washed away in the flood
