Sleeping in the rain Naked in the cage of an easy smile How does a stitched up man Come to understand if he's worth his while You're losing feeling You're losing touch So it never seems to be enough Still you make it look so easy Dressed in a rainbow shell Trying to run the miracle mile But a lonely heart eventually runs out of style You get caught out with your lonely eyes And lose that perfect disguise How come nobody ever gives you what you truly desire Hold yourself up to the light Stop driving it away Curled up to a cigarette The drag is getting harder and faster Moving from door to door Trying to forget all the answers But every fence that you avoid Keeps you from finding your way home As the lights go down on forever You get caught out with your lonely eyes And lose that perfect disguise How come nobody ever gives you what you truly desire Hold yourself up to the light Stop driving it away Sleeping in the rain Why you sleeping in the rain
