when it rains
it pours
pain's
insanes
just open their doors

ever wish you could
then you would
if only you should
but you can't
you ain't
no saint
you be
see
ain't no white wash
for how life be

1 in the hospital
1 in jail without bail
1 dyin'
just tryin'
to keep flyin'
all just buyin'
time
each with their own
rythmn & rhyme
each has known
the wind that has blown

each has shown
their own "good-bye"
none has known why
we try
to live or to die

ever hear thunder
and wonder
and just cry
and try to get by

when it rains
so many pains
drives you insanes
effects the membranes

when it rains it pours
hate those closed doors
hate when it pours
hate those chores
of livin'
of givin'
of bein' driven'
insane
with the pain
of the rain
when it pours

wish i could close those doors

would if i could
but i can't
ain't no saint
would paint it white
if i might
late at night
when it rains

when it pours

wish i could re-open those doors
