Naked in the Rain

Johnny Clegg


I feel nervous about these times she said
It's like the beginning of the fall of Rome
I feel lost on this rising tide she said
Of superhighways and genetic clones

And I miss you like mad
When you go away
And I fear the things I read about
These coming days

A digital picture wired to the moon
A chemical sister
Yoiu know she's coming soon

A virtual lover always waiting there for you
And the human touch
Fades into the blue

I feel blue
I feel strange
I feel naked in the rain

And I know
In this world
Very little stays the same

If you could see me now
Would you remember my name?

'cause I could never forget you

A software prophet said the other day
This the final ride we're on our way
Like a weapon ready to unleash its load
We're genetically coded to decode our code

And I miss you like mad
When you go away
And I fear the things we read about
These coming days

I feel blue
I feel strange
All these pictures in the rain

All those times
All those moments
Lost forever
Like tears in the rain

I could never forget you

I feel new
I feel strange
I feel naked in the rain

And I know
In this world
Very little stays the same

'cause I could never forget you
