The Low Mice - Rain Gray Day Lyrics

On this rain gray day
Fillin' up the sewer drains
Children won't come out to play
Radiators hiss and bang like a mechanic who's gone mad
The sense of gloom is like a blanket you can wrap yourself in
Outside the world still turns, a dangerous realm, but semi-free
While we sit indoors and pretend to be the fools we see, on our TV
Street mother inside the outside door at the bank
Mumbling obscenities and odd poems, and thanks
As strangers drop their change in her cup
Some ask if we pay will you shutup, she just smiles and says that'll cost you extra honey
The ground beneath us rocks and rolls, but we pretend it's for good of all
New buildings surge out of the holes, what was there we cannot recall
Outside the world still turns, a criminal place, but semi free
While we sit indoors and pretend to be the fools we see, on our TV
On a rain gray day, do you wonder, if it could have gone a different way
But once the trapdoor's sprung, can anything ever be undone
And if the sun breaks through, does it cut a hole in your head
Does it stop the droning on and on and on
On a rain gray day
On a rain gray day
On a rain gray day
On a rain gray day
