Exodus - When It Rains It Pours lyrics

Got out of bed about 3 PM thought it was a holiday

Then my boss called just to tell me

I'm late and he's giving my job away

Well I took me a walk to the liquor store

so I could drink away my blues

Spent my last ten bucks, then I dropped the bottle

and I broke it all over my shoes

So I got home to find the power's shut off,

there was someone knocking at my door

It was my landlord serving an eviction notice

'cause my checks are bouncing off the floor

I pounded my head up against the wall

thinking what else could go wrong

But this was only the beginning to a real bad day,

it wasn't gonna be a lot of fun

I knew I should have never gotten out of bed

'Cause of the rain cloud above my head

I'm down on my luck and it's plain to see

So tell me why does this happen to me?

When it rains it pours, when it rains it pours on me

When it rains it pours, and there's a storm moving in on me

When it rains it pours, raining down on only me

When it rains it pours, when it rains it pours

I drove across town to go see a friend

when I heard a siren on my tail

It turned out I had a warrant for my arrest

and I couldn't even post the bail

So I'm sittin' in a cell for 48 hours

keepin' company with thieves and drunks

I'm free to go but my car's impounded

and I'm thinkin' 'bout becoming a monk

So I'm wandering aorund in a catatonic daze

now barely a shell of a man

I look like I live out of a shopping cart

and I'm picking up aluminum cans

I staggered my way to an overpass

and fell to the dirt asleep

I figured out tomorrow is a new day

and maybe I could buy myself a life real cheap
