(Chorus) He's a hero at 3.30 Verse 1 Place your bets to get your fingers wet knuckle up and push play fist in the air not a joy or a care we're living for today (Bridge) But I don't think like that we don't think like that (Chorus) Give him the time for joy and a climb arms stretched to the sun laugh with a friend and it's time to pretend we're going out on the run (Bridge) (Chorus) Show me what you live for I'll show you what I'm not Show me what you'd give for I'll show you what I've got But I don't think like that cuz I'm not in your thrall I don't think like that cuz I don't think at all (Chorus)

(Verse 1) Why don't you put it in the microwave these shackles on I am your slave take me where the dirt it meets the water Driving in the rain again stop right here I'll tell you when take me where the dirt it meets the water (Bridge) Keep that tower burning for me (Verse 2) In for pennies in for pounds the time it's your last round breathe the air pretend you never missed it Sleep in corners wide awake there's only so much I can take take my hand pretend you've never kissed it (Bridge) (Chorus) When I turn up my nose I don't turn up my heart the tower it burns again (Verse 3) Why don't you put it in the microwave these shackles on I am your slave take me where the dirt it meets the water Driving in the rain again stop right here I'll tell you when take me where the dirt it meets the water (Bridge) (Chorus) You know you gain a lot from those no longer here they're right on your shoulder whisper in your ear (Chorus) (Verse 4) Why don't you put it in the microwave these shackles on I am your slave take me where the dirt it meets the water Driving in the rain again stop right here I'll tell you when take me where the dirt it meets the water

When the Rains Came 03:08
lyrics

When the rains came they caught us unaware we stood out in the sunlight wishing you were there When the rains came we walked into the sea I reached out with my hand hoping you were next to me It's been a long way down When the night came we went up to your room the kiss you planted on me was a prophecy of doom When the dawn came you cracked and bent your limbs I was holding onto my pillow hoping the day would not begin (Chorus) But if you feel the same in the sunlight know the way you are going you'll let the rains fall down When the light came I stood as one reborn I held my head in the sunlight I couldn't even mourn When the fog came I held my head and cried I thought that I'd escaped you god knows I'd only tried (Chorus) It's like a hand grenade at a wedding the uninvited guest shouting insults out at strangers beating on my chest we've been a long way down When the rains came I just wasn't prepared soaking down my skin completely unaware All rain dries
