Driving in the Rain

Lyrics

[Verse 1] All your vice and volume the whole of that week The plastic pretenders to paradise speak Of your fictions of triumph, your legends of pain The sense that you left you'd be back once again There's a glint in your eyes and the sky starts to laugh It's two to one you never did things by half And I'm out on the rooftops yelling your name 'Cause without you this town will be too much the same [Chorus] You went driving in the rain I'll never see you again There's nothing in the air left to compare To all of your passion and genius pain You went driving in the rain [Verse 2] There was talk of an illness that came by surprise The papers did penance, the whole town took sides Oh, but it was your dancing, your mischievous mind So we were shot of you, but no one's that blind And there's flowers have bloomed down the side of the street Where you and your demons did openly meet And I hope it's wide open where you've got to 'Cause there's closed minds in this town that could not accept [Chorus] You went driving in the rain Where I'll never see you again There's nothing in the air left to compare To all of your passion and genius pain You went driving in the rain [Verse 3] They're making excuses, the reasons the facts They're reasoning how long you'll take to come back But there's guilt in their prayers, maybe shame in their pride They know it was no fault of yours down inside I know steps can't be retraced 'cause tracks disappear There'd be no welcome for you back here Because you were the worst side of everyone's soul They had to get rid of you or face up to the cold [Chorus] You went driving in the rain And I'll never see you again (Alright) There's nothing in the air left to compare To all of your passion and genius pain You went driving in the rain, yeah And I'll never see you again I'll never see you again I'll never see you I'll never see you again
