Rainy Season Songtext
von Howard Devoto

Was it really only yesterday
When you left in such a rush
And the falling cliffs filled the bay?
I used to know this place
I used to know your name
My skin remembers

I am on fire
And it′s the rainy season
In this desert
You made me create
I am on fire
And it's the rainy season
And you′re like a mirage
I could learn to hate


The future's missing here
On some coral reef
You called me all the names
Under the sun
In your sleep
Stirring the blue-grey waves
I'm steady as she goes
My brain′s a leaky boat
My brain′s a leaky boat

I am on fire
And it's the rainy season
In this desert
You made me create
I am on fire
And it′s the rainy season
And you're like a mirage
I could learn to hate

You had broken my heart already
I′d just seen you across the room
I made up my mind
Five feet into the flames
To pray for the break of the monsoon
I pray for the break of the monsoon

I think I'm coming down with something new
I′m running errands for your friends I hardly know
I used to know this place
I used to know your name
My skin remembers


And I am on fire
And it's the rainy season
In this desert
You made me create
I am on fire
And it's the rainy season
And you′re like a mirage
I could learn to hate
