Gazing out my window
Pane per pane
12 on 12 roof come to a point
How I wish my life would do the same
They say at the peak
Shingles shed the most rain
Down the gutters through the
Vertical drain
And all these days
They all feel, so much the same
Like todays rain,
There all going down the vertical drain
Dazed and disheveled
I fall out of bed
Should have picked up a book
Turned the TV on instead
Whipped and twisted
Hair all up in a craze
What has happened to TV these days
Like my hair it is all
Whipped and twisted
Meaning fading away
Down the gutters through the
Vertical drain
All these days
They all feel, so much the same
Like todays rain,
There all going down the vertical drain
Speaking of troubled days
Of how lives are cut too short
That have worked to live so long
How being told you don't look right
Can make everything go wrong
Keeping fear to close
Instead of standing strong
Fighting through the pain
of this horrible rain
Down the gutters through the
Vertical drain
All these days
They all feel, so much the same
Like todays rain,
There all going down the vertical drain
There all going down the vertical drain
