Does it rain like it rains here on 5th street? Nine days long the rain drops finding what's wrong with This roof I've raised over my head Does time fly like it does here on the 2nd floor? Five ways to go but only one place to be If only I could get there from here If only I could get there today If only I could get there today Wish it was simple like a train Ride behind windows, invisible While towns pass like sand through fingers Wish it was simple like color Flashes in the soul Like telephones connected to imaginary friends You might not know how it gets You might not know how it gets You might not know And if it was simple like a smile On paper plate faces instead of pages Of songs with no words Does it rain like it does here on 5th street? Nine days long the rain drops finding what's wrong with This roof I've raised over my head If only I could get out of here today Wish I could get out of here today If only I could get out of here today
