if it rains on your parade

(album: don't call on me - 2015)

No one's making headlines
They don't speak
They're hypothetic sometimes
But they're far from weak
According to the [?]
It's all fine
They plaster on a smile
And enbrighten their eyes

Stop let me give you a piece of my mind
I'd criticize what you so high you're riding satellites
Bits of dialogue join the fog as it falls
This is the fourth wall haze of broken days

Say
Here is the rain again
Round up a couple of friends
Throw in a joke now and then
But the sentiment is always the same

If it rains
On your parade
I'll close the shades
And hope it goes all day

Grab the nightly sale
Never rate
Tell a couple stories
And the scene looks great
The words are catching up though
One by one
And soon the purpose goes
And your show is done

I hope that the whole world is the same
With snake-eyed arms and chessboard brains
Disclaimer it's a consciousness fro day and night
This is what I made, what I wrote, and I quote

You say
Here is the rain again
Round up a couple of friends
Throw in a joke now and then
But the sentiment is always the same
If it rains
On your parade
I'll close the shades
And maybe in a couple days I'll see the set-up wash away

If it rains
On your parade
I'll close the shades
And hope it goes all day
