Haphazardly, tumbling hard
Fall right down, laugh out loud
All in the scheme of things, we're all looking up growing tall

It's like pulling one hair (You are what you are to me)
With wet fingers (In my eyes you're a star)
Petroleum jelly (You're something I'll never be)
And watch the rain dance (You're something, I'm frightened of)

I've got to get clean
The rain will cleanse me
And I've got to wash these filthy hands

Because it's all just a futile plan
That'd mean I'd have to believe again
It's like a career to breathe
An existence I can't conceive
Emotionless as in slug in my
Imagined oblivion

You would swear (It's as much fun)
That I could
Walk and talk (As poking at a nerve)
But I doubt you will ever
Ever prove enough (Smartest kid is stupid)
(No one wants to fail)
(But no one wants to work)
(Vocabulary test is graded On a curve)
Ever prove enough (Word is never heard)

I've got to get clean
The rain will cleanse me (I doubt you'll ever prove it!)
And I've got to wash these filthy hands (I doubt you'll ever prove it!)

All these thoughts and feelings
Are for naught unappealing
So you expect them
To dull and fade
Still they remain (x2)

Caught
Waiting for the
Rain
Time devours life
With my soul as the defendant
Don't catch me if I fall
I may have jumped
You never know
You don't know me at all
At all

All these thoughts and feelings
Are for naught unappealing
So you expect them
To dull and fade
Still they remain (x2)

Because it's all just a futile plan
That'd mean I'd have to believe again
It's like a career to breathe
An existence I can't conceive
Emotionless as in slug in my
Imagined oblivion

You would swear (It's as much fun)
That I could
Walk and talk (As poking at a nerve)
But I doubt you will ever
Ever prove enough (Smartest kid is stupid)
(No one wants to fail)
(But no one wants to work)
(Vocabulary test is graded On a curve)
Ever prove enough (Word is never heard)

All these thoughts and feelings
Are for naught unappealing
So you expect them
To dull and fade
Still they remain (x2)

Caught
Waiting for the
Rain
Time devours
Life
Waiting for the rain
Time devours life
