Raining down from a
the mystery and the hum
From
Kabul to
Trinidad, the syllables make us numb
Raining down from satellite,
falling on ears so deaf
Louder than a bagpipes screaming,
soft as a human breath
Hey, hey, hey, time slips away
Baby, can you be so sure
that we will endure?
Our innocence is rattling now,
like chains falling on the floor
Reasoning means nothing when
you're in the midst of war
They're telegraphing signals
in zeros and in ones
We could go on forever if
we only had the funds
Hey, hey, hey, time slips away
Baby, can you be so sure that we will do?
We don't say too much right now,
mostly hey, what's new?
Raining down from satellite,
our voices intertwine
The greatest miracle of the 20th century
And still it slips our minds
Hey, hey, hey
Time slips away
Baby, can you be so sure
That we will return?
Down,
down, down
Paint your lips fluorescent red,
they open up so wide
Your teeth are clenched in anger,
just like some tilted bride
Our voices are on fire tonight,
words seem to have no shape
We're stoned beyond all speaking,
now our mouths just hang a gate
Hey, hey, hey, time slips away
Baby, can you be so sure
that you will return?
Hey, hey, hey, time slips away
Baby, can you be so sure that me with you?
Rain, raining down from satellite
Raining down from satellite
Raining down from satellite
Rainin' down from the satel
lite
Rainin' down from the satellite
