Black Sheets of Rain (Live at Carnegie Hall; November 17, 2014)
Checking every morning
To the sound of steam and caffeine
And sludge in the bottom of the cup
Just like the sludge in the stream
Slag heap keeps growing higher
Every morning the sky is on fire
It's on fire
Is there an upside to every downside?
We keep it inside
It's just a downward slide of broken glass
Keeps building in piles
And I don't know
I don't know if the sun still shines
It's the black sheets of rain
They following me again
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I've been
Keep following me again
I feel the toxins hit my blood stream
As I'm walking through the parking lot
Over and over again, over and over again
Over and over the clouds hanging over
Choking the life out of me
And the motto seems to be
"We work in order to be free"
It's black sheets of rain
They following me again
Everywhere I turn
Everywhere I've been
Keep calling me back again
Over and over and over and over and over and over again
Over and over and over and over and over and over again
Where were you in my time of need?
Somebody stopped the sun from shining
The clouds rollin' over the sunlight
Somebody stopped the sun from shining
And as I stand here, ready to bleed
Somebody keep the sun from shining
Where will you be in my darkest hour of need?
Where will you be?
Where will you be?
It's black sheets of rain
They following me again
Everywhere I turn
Everywhere I've been
They calling me back again
To the sound of steam and caffeine
And sludge in the bottom of the cup
Just like the sludge in the stream
Slag heap keeps growing higher
Every morning the sky is on fire
It's on fire
Is there an upside to every downside?
We keep it inside
It's just a downward slide of broken glass
Keeps building in piles
And I don't know
I don't know if the sun still shines
It's the black sheets of rain
They following me again
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I've been
Keep following me again
I feel the toxins hit my blood stream
As I'm walking through the parking lot
Over and over again, over and over again
Over and over the clouds hanging over
Choking the life out of me
And the motto seems to be
"We work in order to be free"
It's black sheets of rain
They following me again
Everywhere I turn
Everywhere I've been
Keep calling me back again
Over and over and over and over and over and over again
Over and over and over and over and over and over again
Where were you in my time of need?
Somebody stopped the sun from shining
The clouds rollin' over the sunlight
Somebody stopped the sun from shining
And as I stand here, ready to bleed
Somebody keep the sun from shining
Where will you be in my darkest hour of need?
Where will you be?
Where will you be?
It's black sheets of rain
They following me again
Everywhere I turn
Everywhere I've been
They calling me back again
