They give you eyes, they give you life
then they give you a lie to live in

Get out your head, get out your bed
see all the flowers in the garden have been declared dead

You see stars, I only see bars
and all the other prisoners seem to come from mars

It doesn't take much time to figure out why
It's only death that keeps us alive

Oh I never looked so wistfully till that day
when I turned up to the sky to say

I want the sun

They give you a light to see paradise
just not enough time to reach it

Here comes the mess as you watch her undress
the nakedness kills me

You're rich in the soul but you ain't got no dough
so what you gonna do, where you gonna go?

Oh I never looked so wistfully till that day
when I turned up to the sky to say
I want the sun, I never left square one

Now look at you, every gay color is painted blue
I see and nothing sees me
When I'm buried and dead, the worms will eat up my head

Give me the sun

I have got no wind for I'm quite a heavy smoker
Several states of meditation and either effect is mediocre

I'm quite illiterate however much I read a lot
I can't get a step ahead tho' I'm walking shoes full of my blood

They bleed so much

I ran into the light but I got knocked down in the doorway
Now dance around the totem till that bloody sun's gone missing

Let it rain, let it rain all away
Let it rain, flush it all down a drain

O, Jenny's a' weet, poor body,
Jenny's seldom dry:
She draigl't a' her petticoatie,
Comin thro' the rye!

Let the rain come
