Stranglers - Laughing At The Rain lyrics

I see a face, a shade of grey

When you're in this game

It's if the price you pay

Hey what's it all about anyway?

When you're losing sleep

'cause the ghosts won't hide

If you can't compete

Take a walk outside

Shame do you think that you can

Pick up all the pieces

You say the sun don't shine

That's when you'll find me

Laughing at the rain

Just like a dice the big wheel spins

I'm telling you now that there's

Nothing to gain

If you lose or you win

Relax there's nothing you can do

About it anyway

Well there's an open road

If you don't look back

So forget your bets and get on that track

Hey you haven't got the time to waste

Repeat chorus

A word with the leader at token of faith

But just by the look you've got

Nothing to show

For the prayers you gave

Angel you haven't got the strength to fly

Bye bye

You've got broken wings

But they will heal in time

So let me take you down

Where the sun don't shine

Laughing at the rain

Laughing at the rain

Oh I wish it would rain

Oh I wish it would rain
