It's raining, it's raining and the sun is out There is fever, there is fever in the town There are fires in the castle and all around There is cancer, there is cancer in my house
Bone doctor says I'm in trouble That I should save for medicine Witch doctor pulled me from the rubble He saved my life then made a deathmask from my skin
You're crying, you're crying and your hair is down There is fighting, there is fighting in the street There are soldiers in the schoolhouse and underground There's a pile of flesh and flowers at your feet
Town cryer says we're in trouble That we should run toward the sun Crooks and liars, picks and shovels We'll leave them all behind before this day is done
I'm floating, I'm floating over angry crowds There is magic, there is magic in the sky Will you find me in my tiny corner of the clouds? I'll be waiting with my hands over my eyes
Ringbearer, bring another eulogy Make it short and sweet and pretty, get it right this time Wayfarer, burn another effigy Make a show of it They won't be getting over this, not tonight Get on with it Keep the bonfires lit, all right All right.
