Drained Songtext

von Michael Penn

[00: 15]"here's the car you will be driving. radio works.
[00: 22]take the 10 out. on arriving, detour other road.
[00: 29]where every sign's a carved design.
[00: 33]stick feather on with glue
[00: 37]and run amok upon the lawn"
[00: 40]the sun comes up and it just dawned on me:
[00: 48]one thing's clear
[00: 51]the times come when all of your love is drained
[00: 57]
[01: 03]i've seen this scene
[01: 04]i'll dream this dream and have now and then
[01: 10]i lose my concentration to some twister again
[01: 17]and i point mute in shrunken suit like all your
[01: 22]weathermen
[01: 25]now feeling wet and most alone
[01: 28]into this shelter i am thrown and found dumb?
[01: 35]at least i got this one thing clear:
[01: 39]the times come when all of your love is drained
[01: 47]
[01: 54] crash on the east grapevine
[01: 57] and now that the blacktop's dried up
[02: 01] you'll be tied up and i'll be fine...
[02: 09]
[02: 17]now that i've got your attention,
[02: 20]a toast to the host.
[02: 24]if that's a rope and wood invention
[02: 27]then tie me to its post.
[02: 31]there's a subject to consider
[02: 35]since we both know each other too well.
[02: 38]forget the plumber, call a priest
[02: 42]the convicts have all been released
[02: 46]and i just screwed this up
[02: 49]at least i think i have
[02: 54]but you left me with this one thing clear:
[02: 58]the times come when all of our love is drained.
[03: 09]one thing's clear
[03: 13]the time comes when all of your love is drained.
