Well I've been waiting for the rain to break but I guess my waiting's thru

 It's been dry as a bone since 1982 (riff 2X)

And I've been trying to protect myself With these possessions I keep on his walls

 all my books and my records but they don’t give me shelter at all (riff 2X)

We're not smart enough to know better but come on come on come oooooon

  Take me into town Take me into town

Oh did you see my boots when you walked in Y'know I guess this shirt'll do

 I'm broke as a monkey and I could use a drop or two (riff 2X)

Well I know just what I'll do when I get there you know I saw it in a magazine

 I can get so low you'll have to peel me from off of the street (riff 2X)

Well I've been talking to the dog for days But you know it's just no use

 She's sitting like a sphinx and I can't get to the truth (riff)

And I've been staring at the floor for days Trying to figure out what it all means
