lyrics

on the first day it rained water
dusty drops fell like ribbons in the wind
to fall on the street

on the second day it rained sand
a solid shower of yellow and white
turned our street into an excavation site

on the third day it rained planks and nails
leaving a pile of cheap weapons
we closed the curtains

on the fourth day it rained razor blades
on the fifth day it rained bricks
and on the sixth day
it rained mercury

our skin has blisters upon blisters
hearts are dry and useless
now that the sun is bright and low
in the clear blue sky

and the baby cries and cries
pure tears all through the night

and here we are
in our soft clothes
tears condense on the windows
