The
sky is crying, the streets are full of tears Rain come down, wash
away my fears And all this writing on the wall Oh, I can read
between the lines
Rain come down, forgive this dirty
town Rain come down, and give this dirty town A drink of water,
a drink of wine
If I been hard on you, I never chose to
be I never wanted no one else I tried my best to be somebody
you'd be close to Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
As you'd sleep, I'd think my heart
would break in two I'd kiss your cheek, I'd stop myself from
waking you But in the dark you'd speak my name You'd say, "Baby
what's wrong?"
Oh, here I am baby, I'm coming back for
more I'm like a wave that's got to roll into the shore Yes, and
if my love's in vain, how come my love is so strong?
If I been hard on you, I never chose to
be I never wanted no one else And I tried my best to be
somebody you'd be close to Hand in hand like lovers are supposed
to Supposed to be
Now you and me go parallel together and
apart And you keep your perfect distance and it's tearing at my
heart Did you never feel the distance You never tried to cross
no line
'Cause it's another dirty river and
another dirty scar And I don't know who's kissing you and I don't
know where you are So far from home, don't you think of me some
time
If I been hard on you, I never chose to
be I never wanted no one else I tried my best to be somebody
you'd be close to Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
Well, sky is crying, see the streets
are full of tears Rain come down, wash away my fears And all

kitchen, Making bread and honey, No friends and yet no
enemies, Absolutely free, No rats aboard the magic ship, Of

The gods are in the heavens, The angels treat us

I
seen a girl on a one-way corridor Stealing down a wrong-way
street For all the world like an urban toreador She had wheels
on, on her feet
Well, the cars do the usual dances Same
old cruise and the curbside crawl But the roller girl, she's
taking chances They just love to see her take them all
No fear alone at night She's sailing
through the crowd In her ears the phones are tight And the
music's playing loud
Hallelujah, here she comes Queen
rollerball And enchanté, what can I say? Don't care at all
You know, she used to have to wait
around She used to be the lonely one But now that she can skate
around town She's the only, only one
No fear alone at night She's sailing
through the crowd In her ears those phones are tight And the
music's playing loud
She gets rock 'n' roll and a rock 'n'
roll station And a rock 'n' roll dream She's making movies on
location She don't know what it means
And the music make her wanna be the
story And the story was whatever was the song, what it was Roller
girl, don't worry D.J. play the movies All night long, all
night long
She tortures taxi drivers just for
fun She likes to read their lips Says, "Toro, toro, taxi,
see ya tomorrow, my son" I swear, she let a big truck grease
her hip
Aw, she got her own world in the city,
yeah You can't intrude on her, no, no, no, no She got her own
world in the city The city's been so rude to her
No fears alone at night Sailing
through the crowd In her ears those phones so tight And the
music's playing loud
She gets rock 'n' roll and a rock 'n'
roll station And a rock 'n' roll dream She's making movies on
location She don't know what it means
But the music make her wanna be the
story And the story was whatever was the song, what it was Roller
girl, don't worry D.J. play the movies All night long, all
night long
Slippin' and a-slidin' Yeah, life's
a rollerball Slippin' and a-slidin' Skateaway, that's all
