Hugh Blumenfeld - Mr. Rain lyrics

Where the hell did it go?

They say he spent it all on wine and women

But even so--

I know a guy who wrote a song for Garth Brooks

And now he's got it made for life

But Mozart never really made a lot of money,

And that's what I tell my wife.

I'd like to know what happened to Poe's

Investment portfolio

Maybe he walled it up in that crypt

With his good friend Fortunato

I know a guy who knows Stephen King

Who'll be a sheik in the afterlife

But Mr. Poe never made much dough

And that's what I tell my wife

I accost her with tales of Stephen Foster

And the visionary William Blake

I say
