atmosphere coming around
atmosphere don't make no sound
atmosphere
the day swallows the light
and follows you around
lampost sheds some light on
what is a dark situation
atmosphere coming around
atmosphere don't make no sound
coming around
lampost sheds some light on
what is an otherwise dark situation
med in the street, they bring their pianos out to play
it's been raining all yesterday it won't stop today
and they don't care
they don't care
the men in the street they sing and they dance
the men in the street are living but they don't stand a chance
you can't sleep in a garbage bin all day
a man on the street brings his guitar out to play
writes a song called 'rainy day' and he goes
and he goes and he goes
they write all day long in the street
well into the night
they write all day long and they don't fight and they
sing
the music notes flood to them like wine
from the tip of a man who's pouring his time
away
they sing and they dance all day
and they dance
and when they pass, one by one, there is no one to bury them
and when they fall, one by one, there is no one to save them
no books, no television, no radio
somehow they found out ways to play
