This Town In The Rain Letra

Nothing?s as sobering or quite frankly, depressingAs looking out on LA in the rainThe colours of the houses, the pinks and pale bluesAgainst the slab gray sky is all wrong - it?s just wrongAnd the palm trees, with their dead leavesHave a hangdog expression like someone took their fun awayThe tired, tarmaccadam strips, just watching idiotsSlip and slide as their tires lose their grip on the roadDidn?t anybody tell them you can?t drive the same - drive insane in the rain?In this townThis town in the rainThe sidewalks are soused as the guttering, so used to droughtSpews the water out in loud gushing spoutsLike Hurricane Harbour... without the funAnd parking lots are like boating lakes as pockets and puddlesSeem to spring out of the groundThere?s nowhere it can run to, with no concept of run-offHunted hand haunted it lies there in great gulpsNo drains, no gainThis townThis town in the rain
